"Rhizopus oryzae IFO 4697 was found to produce intracellular ribonuclease (RNase), and its growth and activity could be regulated under selected metal ion stress. The addition of Fe**2+, Mg**2+ and Zn**2+ to the SLSR medium was essential to growth and RNase production. Ca**2+ and Mo**6+ stimulated RNase production. It is concluded that the addition of 100mg/ml Ca**2+, 5 mg/ml Mo**6+, 0.7 mg/ml Zn**2+, 2mg/ml Fe**2+, and 49mg/ml Mg**2+ to the SLSR medium was the best condition for producing RNase in high specific activity (3780U/mg protein). This result indicates that a metal ion-regulated liquid medium is an efficient culture method for RNase production. "
