Abstract
:
The association of certain species of termites with fungi is a very complex phenomenon. Previously, it was demonstrated the importance of a basidiomycete fungus belonging to the genus Termitomyces as a source of potent cellulases. In this paper, the saccharifying activities of Termitomyces conidiophores against various oligo- and polysaccharides were compared. In addition, partial purification of the cellulase complex of conidiophores was achieved by using a Sephadex column G-IOO. The fungal cellulase activity was also compared with five commercial cellulases namely: A. niger cellulase (from Calbiochem comp.), Drisellase-NIO (Kyomo Hakko Comp.), Trichoderma-SPI22 (The Novo Comp.), Trichoderma-4 (Natick, US Army) and Onozuka SSPI500 (Kink Yakult Comp.). Cellulase( s) activities were measured against cotton wool (CJ, filter paper (FP), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and cellobios (Bglucosidase). Results showed that the activity of Termitomyces cellulase was far more superior than others when the substrates were filter paper and CMC. However, the cellulolytic activity on cotton wool was intermediate.
