Abstract
Isolation and some properties of the two components of an Arthrobacter β-1,3 glucanase (glucanase II–1 and glucanase II–2) are described. Both of these glucanases hydrolyzed various β-1,3 glucans, accumulating as final products, glucose and laminaribiose. They resembled each other in instability at acidic pH values, lability at temperature above 55°C, having an optimal pH range of 5.5-6.5 and requirement of the presence of glucanase I for the effective hydrolysis of yeast glucan. Glucanase II–1 showed a high lytic activity for isolated yeast cell wall, while the activity of glucanase II–2 was low. Culture fluids of early cultures contained glucanase II–1 predominantly, while those of late cultures contained glucanase II–2, predominantly.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
