Abstract
When wheat straw was used as carbon source, Sporotrichum thermophile produced large amounts of xylanase extracellularly in addition to CM-cellulase and Avicelase. These enzymes were isolated by alcohol precipitation, desalting and column chromatography. The molecular weights were estimated to be 25,000 65,000 and 84,000 for xylanase, CM-cellulase and Avicelase respectively. Serine and threonine were found to be the most abundant amino acids and these enzymes are very acidic proteins.
