Summary

Four 1,3-β-glucanases GI, GII, GIV and GVIII, which were isolated from culture filtrate ofStreptomyces sp. 1228, were examined for their activities on different oligo- and polysaccharides containing 1,3-β-and/or 1,4-β-and/or 1,6-β-glycosodic bonds. Linear 1,3-β-glucan-laminarin was extensively degraded. CM-cellulose, xylan, lichenan and yeast glucan were hydrolyzed to different extents by the four enzymes. No activity against barley glucan was found. Laminarioligosaccharides, with a higher degreeol polymerization were more extensively hydrolyzed by GI, GII, and GIV enzymes. Glucanase GVIII prefers substrates with lower molecular mass.
