Abstract
Two .beta.-glucosidases from C. wickerhamii were studied. One is parietal and exocellular, the other is endocellular. Both enzymes were purified by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. They could hydrolyze glucosides with .beta.(1-3), .beta.(1-4) and .beta.(1-6) configurations. The exocellular enzyme is active against soluble cellodextrins. This is responsible for the ability of the C. wickerhamii strain to ferment soluble cellodextrins. Both enzymes were constitutive, but their biosynthesis was repressed by glucose.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
