Endoglucanase from the mixed culture of Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus wentii

The level of α-mannanase in mixed fungal culture of Trichoderma reesei, D1-6, and Aspergillus wentii, Pt 2804, affects the extracellular activities of cellulase. The endoglucanase component of the cellulase system is a glycoprotein having mannose and other sugars and sugaramines in its glycan moiety. Its activity is inhibited by α-mannanase. The inactivation of endoglucanase by α-mannanase can be prevented by galactose. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
