Xylanase Schizophyllum commune

En me Treatment of LCCs. Purified Bacillus circulans xylanase (specific activity, 110 units/mg protein), purified Coriolus versicolor )9-mannanase (specific activity 179 units/mg protein), purified Thermoascus aurianticum /8-glucosidase (specific activity, 150 units/mg protein), and purified Schizophyllum commune acetyl xylan esterase (AXE specific activity, 180 units/mg protein) were used. Unit activity for xylanase and )9-mannanase was defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzing the release of 1 /xmol reducing power per minute at 50°C and pH 6.0 using oat spelts...

An endo-1,4-j8-xylanase (xylanase A), obtained from Schizophyllum commune, is rapidly deactivated using l-(4-azonia-4,4-dimethylpentyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide iodide, indicating that the reactive site in the enzyme is a carboxyl group. " Xylanase A is of importance for the conversion of hemicellulosic biomass into fermentable products.
