title: Substrate specificity of thePenicillium lilacinum enzyme lytic to the cell wall ofRhodotorula glutinis and the structure of theRhodotorula cell wall glucomannan.
abstract: The lytic enzyme active on cell walls ofRhodotorula, which was produced byPenicillium lilacinum ATCC 36010, decomposed an extracellular mannan fromRhodotorula glutinis IFO 0695 and was confined to the β-1,3-mannoside bond on the reducing side of the β-1,4-linkedD-mannopyranose. Based on these results, the structure of the glucomannan, which was a major component ofRhodotorula cell walls, was proposed.
