Decomposition of Various Cellulose Substrates by Cellulase Preparations (Rasshcheplenie Razlichnykh Tsellyuloznykh Substratov Treparatami Tsellyulazy).

摘要

Cellulase preparations from various sources such as the fungi trichoderma viride, aspergillus sp. and the cochlea helix pomatia were compared in their ability to decompose cotton fiber, crystalline cellulose (hydrocellulose), amorphic cellulose, the Na-salt of carboxymethyl cellulose and cellobiose. The article describes methods for determination of the activity of cellulase when these substrates are used. The mechanism of enzymatic decomposition of cellulose is discussed. (Author)
