[CHARACTERISTICS OF FUNGAL STRAINS PRODUCING THERMOSTABLE XYLOGLUCANASES FROM THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL COLLECTION OF
Abstract:
Fungal strains degrading plant biomass available from the Russian National Collection of Industrial Microorganisms (VKPM) have been screened for the xyloglucanase activity. Under conditions of submerged cultivation, the thermophilic strains Sporotrichum thermophile VKPM F-972, Myceliophthora thermophila VKPM F-244, and Sporotrichum pruinosum VKPM F-235 produced extracellular xyloglucanases with optimal activity at 60°C, pH 5.0. 88-100% of the initial enzyme activity was retained after l-h incubation at 50°C; 79-84% of the activity was retained after l-h incubation at 60°C. S. thermophile VKPM F-972, M. thermophila VKPM F-244, and S. pruinosum VKPM F-235 strains may be used as the gene sources for construction of highly active producers of the thermostable xyloglucanases.
