Properties of Endoglucanase of Penicillium Chrysogenum PCL501(2008)
Crude extracellular enzyme from a 3-day culture of Penicillium chrysogenum (PCL 501),
in basal medium containing cellulose as the sole carbon source, yielded 0.67 ± 0.03, 19.94 ± 1.30 and
8.50 ± 0.50 units mg protein-1 of 1, 4- â-endoglucanase, â-glucosidase and xylanase activity
respectively. The crude enzyme was subjected to ammonium sulphate precipitation (80% saturation)
and gel...
