    Extracellular enzyme system utilized by the fungus Sporotrichum pulverulentum (Chrysosporium lignorum) for the breakdown of cullulose. Functional characterization of five endo-1,4-beta-glucanases and one exo-1,4-beta-glucanase.

    Abstract

    A strong synergistic response was observed between the five endo-1,4-beta-glucanases and the exo-1,4-beta-glucanase obtained from culture solutions of the rot fungus Sporotrichum pulverulentum (formerly called Chrysosporium lignorum), when these enzymes were allowed to degrade de-waxed cotton and Avicel. No synergism was observed if Walseth cellulose, an acid-swollen cullulose, was used. If de-waxed cotton was pretreated with endo-1,4-beta-glucanases, the exo-1,4-beta-glucanase enzyme released much more degradation products than from an untreated cotton...
