Isolation and characterization of a cellulase-free pectinolytic and hemicellulolytic thermophilic fungus
1992
A thermophilic fungus belonging to the Deuteromyces, having pectinase and xylanase activities, was grown at its optimum temperature of 55°C. It grew over a wide pH range of 4 to 10, being optimal at 6. The fungus grew well on modified Mandels' medium in which cellulose was substituted either with hemicellulose or pectin. With citrus pectin as carbon source, 121 units/ml of pectinase activity were obtained and with larch wood xylan as carbon source, 83 units/ml of xylanase activity were obtained.
