Abstract
β-D-1,6-Glucans apparently occur rarely in nature, yet many fungi are able to produce an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing them. The β-1,6-glucanases tend to be constitutive enzymes, similar in this respect to the β-1,3-glucanases. They act on β-1,6-glucans in a random fashion, producing a series of β-1,6-linked oligosaccharides, including gentiobiose. The β-1,6-glucanases can be separated from other β-glucanases by zone electrophoresis.Keywords
