For optimal production of fructosyl transferase in AureobasidiumpuZZulane C-23, the effect of fermentation conditions for cell growth and fructosyl transferase production were investigated. Sucrose was excellent carbon source. Sucrose concentration for the optimum production of fructosyl transferase was 35%. Enzyme productivity was significantly increased by addition of ammonium oxalate and yeast extract. A time course study for the enzyme production by Aureobasidium pullutans C-23 was carried out. At 2 days incubation, the production of intracellular enzyme was maximum. The extracellular enzyme production was found to be increased up to 6 days.
