title: Screening for microorganisms that produce only endo-inulinase.
abstract: Sixteen fungal strains reported in the literature as endo-inulinase producers and three bacterial strains, isolated from the dahlia rhizosphere, were analysed for endo-inulinase production. From four isolated strains (one fungus and three bacteria) the results were evaluated in terms of substrate consumption, cell growth and production of endo-inulinases. All three bacterial strains were sole endo-inulinase producers and, among these, strain Paenibacillus sp. CDB 003 was the most suitable for endo-inulinase production, as this enzyme produced inulobiose as the principal substrate as well as inulo-oligosaccharides with polymerisation degrees of 3-5.
