Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis alkali-pretreated roots of Taraxacum kok-saghyz (rubber dandelion), incubated with crude enzyme extracts from Thermomyces lanuginosus STm yield more natural rubber (90 mg/g dry root) than the protocols, Eskew process (24 mg/g) and commercial-enzyme-combination process (45 mg/g). The crude enzyme treatment at 91.6% rubber purity approaches the purity of the commercial-enzyme-combination process at 94.1% purity Thermomyces lanuginosus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function strain produces considerable amounts of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes on lignocellulosic substrates at 55°C incubated for 8 days in 150 ml shake flask experiments. The maximum enzyme activities on wheat straw and guayule bagasse are: xylanase 130.1 U/mg, inulinase 34.1 U/mg, carboxymethylcellulase 4.8 U/mg, filter paper assay (FPase) 5.5 FPU/g and pectinase 3.2 U/mg, respectively Thermomyces lanuginosus
