3.1.3.8	biotechnology	to evaluate the ability of EDTA to improve phytate P utilization and the possible synergistic effect between EDTA and microbial phytase an experiment is conducted using 360 Ross 308 broiler chicks. The experiment is carried out using a completely randomized design. Four replicate of 15 chicks per each are fed dietary treatments. Phytase supplementation of P-deficient diets significantly improves weight gain and feed efficiency, but it has no effect on feed consumption. Microbial phytase supplementation significantly decreases alkaline phosphatase concentration. Results obtained suggest no synergistic effect between phytase and EDTA in broiler chicks	Aspergillus niger

3.1.3.8	Aspergillus niger	-	the enzyme may be a 3-phytase, EC 3.1.3.8, or a 4-phytase (synonym 6-phytase, EC 3.1.3.26). The product of the hydrolysis of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate to 1D-myo-inositol 1,2,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (3-phytase) or 1D-myo-inositol 1,2,3,5,6-pentakisphosphate (4-phytase) (i.e. 1L-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5-pentakisphosphate if 1L numbering is applied) has not been analyzed. The reaction was monitored by analyzing the released phosphate	-
