Some Properties of Cellulases from Pineapple Stem

抄録

Cellulases in a crude bromelain preparation obtained from the juice of pineapple stem tissue were fractionated by column chromatography into at least four components. Several enzymic properties of the main component, cellulase I, were examined and compared with those of the fungal cellulases.
It was found that most of the enzymic properties of cellulase I are quite similar to those found in some cellulase components of a fungus, Trichoderma virile.
