✦ Synopsis
The xylanase activity of the new thermophilic, anaerobic, G'osfridium sp. EPPlOO was induced by xylan, cellobiose, and lactose, a pattern previously noted only in cellulolytic organisms. The lactoseinduced xylanase had microcrystalline cellulose binding activity. Induction of xylanase activity was dependent on inducer concentration and was not fully repressible by glucose, xylose, or any mono-sugars tested. The II-glycosidases and xylanase were not induced coordinately by lactose and cellobiose.
