Microcrystalline cellulose (10 g/L Avicel) was hydrolysed by two major cellulases, cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and endoglucanase II (EG II), of Trichoderma reesei. Two types of experiments were performed, and in both cases the enzymes were added alone and together, in equimolar mixtures. In time cou

โฆ Synopsis
Decompositions of amorphous cellulose induced by cellulases of Trichoderma reesei were evaluated from gradients at zero time of exponential functions which were fitted to nephelometrically measured values of turbidity of incubated solutions of cellulose [turbidity = A x exp ( B x t ) + C [ A , B, C = constant?, t = time]]. Synergistic enhancements of decomposition of amorphous cellulose resulted in the range of 300 p-c. whenever of the two isoenzymes of cellobiohydrolase I of Trichoderma reesei (CBH I, being an exo-glucanase) one was incubatcd together with one of the isoenzymes of CBH I1 (being really an endo-glucanase). Accessibility of amorphous cellulose to enzymatic decomposition being calculated from the fitted function by the term ( A / ( A + C)) x
