Celluclast is a preparation used for breaking down cellulose into glucose, cellobiose and longer glucose polymers.
SOURCE
Celluclast is produced by a selected strain of the fungus Trichoderma reesei.
USES
Celluclast can be used whenever the aim is to break down cellulosic materials into fermentable sugars, the reduction of viscosity of soluble cellulosic substrates, or the increase in yield of valuable products of plant origin.
ACTIVITY
Celluclast catalyses the breakdown of the glucose polymers that comprise cellulose to glucose, cellobiose (i.e., pairs of glucose units) and longer chains of glucose units. For practical purposes, the optimum conditions for activity of this enzyme preparation are in the range pH 4.5-6.0, and about 50-60 °C. For further details please refer to the data sheet provided with the enzyme preparation.
STORAGE
Generally at a storage temperature of 25 °C, you can expect the enzyme to maintain its declared activity for at least 3 months. At lower temperatures (5-10 °C), the shelf life is considerably increased.
