title: Characterization of a complex of hemicellulolytic enzymes produced by some strains of the lower fungi.
abstract: The effect of different temperatures and pH values on the hydrolysis of xylan by culture fluids of five strains of the lower fungi was determined. Xylan in such natural substrates as straw and corn-cobs was also subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. The culture filtrate of the most active strain contained, besides xylanolytic enzymes, also cellulolytic, proteolytic and pectinolytic enzymes.
