YEAST GLUCANASE AND MANNANASE

Abstract
Synchronously-dividing cultures of brewer's yeast show cyclical changes in activities of mannanase, glucanase and laminarinase, suggesting that these enzymes may have a function in the budding process. The same enzymes are present in autolysates of brewer's yeast; the laminarinase completely hydrolyses laminarin to monosaccharide but the others yield products larger than tetrasaccharides from the native mannan and glucan.
