Summary
The enzyme production and localization ofThielavia terrestris strains C464 and NRRL 8126 were compared to determine their optimum temperature and pH for cellulase activity. High levels of intracellular β-glucosidase activity were detected in the former strain. The intracellular β-glucosidase of both strains were more thermostable than the extracellular enzyme; the half life ofT.terrestris (C464) endoglucanase activity at 60°C was greater than 96 hrs.
