Table 3.
Alamethicin resistance of cells treated with different cell wall degrading enzymes or enzyme modules.
| Enzyme | Source species | Resistance (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Cellulase (Yakult) | T. viride | 76 ± 12 |
| Cellulase (Serva) | T. viride | 75 ± 9 |
| Celluclast | T. reesei | 18 ± 5 |
| TrCel7Bcor module | T. reesei | 22 ± 3 |
| TrMan5A module | T. reesei | 19 ± 2 |
Resistance was measured as per cent of respiration rate remaining after 10 min incubation with 20 µg ml-1 alamethicin compared to the initial rate. Average of two independent experiments are shown with error bars representing SD.
