Summary
Cellulase synthesis is not only controlled by the structure of cellulose (Targoński, Szajer, 1979), but also by its concentration in the culture medium. The activity of endo- glucanase and aryl-β-glucosidase increases with increasing concentration of cellulose, whereas the activity of cellobiose dehydrogenase may also depend on other factors. The latter enzyme may facilitate the formation of lactones in culture media, which are known to act as inhibitors of cellulases.
