- A low molecular mass (23.2 kDa) endo-1,4-β-d-glucanase from Fusarium oxysporum was purified to homogeneity by gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatographies. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 and at 50 ° C. It had a pI value of 8.6 and was stable at 55 ° C for 1 h. It hydrolyzed carboxymethylcellulose, cello-oligosaccharides (Glcn) and 4-methylumbelliferylcello-oligosaccharides but did not hydrolyze cellobiose, p-nitrophenyl β-o-glucoside, p-nitrophenyl β-d-xyloside, Avicel, filter paper and xylan. Analysis of reaction mixtures by high pressure liquid chromatography revealed that this enzyme cleaved preferentially the internal glycoside bonds of higher cello-oligosaccharides. The enzyme also catalyzed the formation of transfer products in the presence of cellotriose, cellotetraose and 4-methylumbelliferylglucoside (MeUmbGlc).
