Summary
Enzyme preparations fromTrichoderma reesei RUT-C30, in addition to cellulase, contained various glucanase and glucosidase, acetylxylan esterase, glucuronidase and xylanase activities. These preparations were able to hydrolyse endosperm cell walls of corn and wheat and commercially-available xylans and plant gums having stright chains, but lacked the ability to hydrolyse branched or substituted hemicelluloses.
Résumé
Les préparations enzymatiques deTrichoderma reesei RUT-C30, contiennent, outre la cellulase, diverses glucanases et glucosidases, acétyl-xylane esterases, glucuronidases et xylanases. Ces préparations demeurent stables pour l'hydrolyse de parois cellulaires de l'endosperme de maïs et de froment ainsi que des xylanes et gommes de plantes à chaînes linéaires, disponibles dans le commerce, mais ne présentent pas le pouvoir d'hydrolyser les hémicelluloses branchées ou substituées.
