Regulation of the cellulase complex production by Saccobolus saccoboloides: Induction and repression by carbohydrates

Saccobolus saccoboloides, a coprophilous fungus, was grown in synthetic liquid media. Extracellular β-glucosidase, β-1,4 endoglucanase and β-1,4 exoglucanase induction and repression by carbohydrates were investigated. When endoglucanase and exoglucanase could not be measured, an alternative carboxy...
