Synergism of Trichoderma reesei cellulases while degrading different celluloses

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The synergistic action of purified cellulases from Trichoderma reesei in hydrolysis of cellulose decreased with increasing substrate concentration, depended strongly on the the type of cellulose used, and was maximal on crystalline cellulose. Contrarily, the activity of the individual cellulases was highest on amorphous cellulose. The binary combinations CBH I/EG III and CBH I/CBH II exhibited the greatest degree of synergism on crystalline cellulose.
