Highlights of the first eight months of out project are as follows. (1) Essentially homogeneous C1, C3 and Cellobiase enzyme have been isolated from Cellulase-Onozuka of Trichodeima viride origin. Besides the 3 major components, one protein of a molecular weight of 10,000 was purified, which has strong C3 activity and also another (M.W. 23,000) with strong C1 activity. (2) Kinetics of Cellobiase has been investigated and its kinetics constant accurately determined. Immobilization of this enzyme on porous glass was successful. (3) Absorption of SO2 at atmospheric pressure increased digestibility of delignated cellulose but not the natural materials such as corn stalk. A pressurizable absorption unit is being built. (4) Kinetics models for purified C1 and C3 are postulated and equations derived. Experimental tests will be made when sufficient quantities of purified C1 and C3 enzyme are prepared. (5) A lignin digesting, white-rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus, has cultivated in our laboratory. It has grown well and heavy. (6) A number of electron micrographs were made with untreated cellulosic materials, which showed that the method of drying the specimens for electromicroscopy is important. Ordinary drying procedures will alter their physical structures. A technique, critical point drying, is being practiced, which will not change the structure. (auth).

This book was released on 1981 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are three basic enzymes (e.g., endoglucanase (C3, exoglucanase (C1) and cellobiase) comprising the majority of extracellular cellulase enzymes produced by the cellulolytic mycelial fungi, Trichoderma reesei, and other cellulolytic microorganisms. The enzymes exhibited different mode of actions in respect to the hydrolysis of cellulose and cellulose derived oligosaccharides. In combination, these enzymes complimented each other to hydrolyze cellulose to its basic constituent, glucose. The kinetics of cellobiase were developed on the basis of applying the pseudo-steady state assumption to hydrolyze cellobiose to glucose. The results indicated that cellobiase was subjected to end-product inhibition by glucose. The kinetic modeling of exoglucanase (C1) with respect to cellodextrins was studied. Both glucose and cellobiose were found to be inhibitors of this enzyme with cellobiose being a stronger inhibitor than glucose. Similarly, endoglucanase (C3 is subject to end-product inhibition by glucose. Crystallinity of the cellulose affects the rate of hydrolysis by cellulases. Hence, the changes in crystallinity of cellulose in relation to chemical pretreatment and enzyme hydrolysis was compared. The study of cellulase biosynthesis resulted in the conclusion that exo- and endo-glucanases are co-induced while cellobiase is synthesized independent of the other two enzymes. The multiplicity of cellulase enzymes are the end results of post-translational modification during and/or after the secretion of enzymes into growth environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent economic trends, especially the worldwide decline in oil prices, and an altered political climate in the United States have combined to bring about major reductions in research on renewable energy resources. Yet there is no escaping the "facts of life" with regard to these resources. The days of inexpensive fossil energy are clearly numbered, the credibility of nuclear energy has fallen to a new low, and fusion energy stands decades or more from practical realization. Sooner than we may wish ,we will have to turn to renewable raw materials - plant "biomass" and, especially, wood - as significant suppliers of energy for both industry and everyday needs. It is therefore especially important to have a single, comprehensive and current source of information on a key step in any process for the technological exploitation of woody materials, cellulose hydrolysis. Further more, it is essential that any such treatment be unbiased with respect to the two methods - chemical and biochemical - for the breakdown of cellulose to sugars. Researchers on cellulose hydrolysis have frequently been chided by persons from industry, especially those individuals concerned with determining the economic feasibility of various technological alternatives. They tell us that schemes for the utilization of wood and other such resources fly in the face of economic realities.
