Notes:
In this study, the fragmentation activities of Thermomonospora fusca cellulases E2, E3, E5, Trichoderma reesei CBHI, and their mixtures were measured to study synergism in fragmentation. Fragmentation studies revealed that only two pure cellulases, T. fusca E2 and E5 had significant fragmentation activity. T. fusca E3 shows strong synergism in fragmentation both in the production of reducing sugars and in fragmentation with both T. fusca endoglucananses and with T. reesei CBHI. Most mixtures containing CBHI produced higher rates of fragmentation than comparable mixtures containing E3. The highest rate and extent of reducing sugar formation and the highest fragmentation activity were obtained with a mixture of E2, E3, and CBHI. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
