Purification and characterization of laminaran hydrolases from Trichoderma viride

At least three extracellular laminaran hydrolases which hydrolyzed laminaran (β-1,3:1,6-glucan) from Eisenia bicyclis were secreted in wheat bran solid medium by Trichoderma viride U-1. These three enzymes, lam AI, AII, and B, were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Their molecular masses were...

Description
Summary:At least three extracellular laminaran hydrolases which hydrolyzed laminaran (β-1,3:1,6-glucan) from Eisenia bicyclis were secreted in wheat bran solid medium by Trichoderma viride U-1. These three enzymes, lam AI, AII, and B, were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Their molecular masses were estimated to be 70.1, 70.4, and 45.0 kDa for lam AI, AII, and B, respectively, by SDS-PAGE. Whereas both lam AI and AII could hydrolyze laminarin from Laminaria digitata, lam AII showed higher activity against Laminaria laminarin rather than Eisenia laminaran. On the other hand, lam B preferentially hydrolyzed pustulan, a β-1,6-glucan. Laminarioligosaccharide was hydrolyzed by lam AI and AII but not B, whereas gentiooligosaccharide was hydrolyzed by only lam B. It showed that lam AI and AII were specific for β-1,3-linkages, but lam B was specific for β-1,6-linkages. These results indicated that T. viride U-1 has a multiple glucanolytic enzyme system.
