title: Purification of the cellulase complex produced by Penicillium camemberti and its partial characterization.
abstract: Three cellulase components (FP-ase, CMC-ase and cellobiase) were purified by affinity binding on Avicel followed by Sephadex G-25, DEAE-Sepharose, DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 chromatography from the culture filtrate of the newly isolated strain Penicillium camemberti. The isolated enzymes had the properties of cellobiohydrolase, endo-1,4-beta-D-glucanase and cellobiase and their respective molar masses were 99, 87 and 61 kDa as determined by molecular sieve chromatography on Sephadex G-100. The amino acid composition of each fraction was also determined.
