Time course of corn cell wall degradation by a mixture of XynA cellulosomes and cellulase cellulosomes. The amount of reducing sugar liberated from corn cell walls was determined. Corn cell walls were degraded by 0.5 nmol/ml of XynA cellulosome (XynA), 1 nmol of cellulase cellulosomes (cellulases)/ml, or a mixture of 1 nmol of cellulase cellulosome and 0.5 nmol of XynA cellulosome (XynA plus cellulases)/ml at 37°C. The x axis indicates the reaction periods. The theoretical activity indicates the sum of individual activities of XynA cellulosomes and cellulase cellulosomes. The synergy degrees (the activity of the mixtures of XynA cellulosomes and cellulase cellulosomes divided by the corresponding theoretical activities) are indicated by arrow bars.
