Interrelationship of Xylanase Induction and Cellulase Induction of Trichoderma longibrachiatum

Abstract

Xylose oligomers rapidly induced xylanase activity of Trichoderma longibrachiatum, whereas induction was delayed in the presence of glucose. Cellobiose, cellopentaose, and xylobiose did not induce detectable levels of cellulase activity. However, mixtures of xylobiose with cellobiose or cellopentaose rapidly induced cellulase activity. In addition, mixtures of xylobiose with cellopentaose or cellobiose induced xylanase activity more effectively than xylobiose alone. Both xylanase and cellulase activity were detected after a lag period in the presence of lactose.
