Induction and Regulation of Cellulase Formation in...
Molasses from glucose refinery，could strongly induce cellulase formation in washed mycelia of various strains of Trichoderma pseudokoningii.After the components of molasses from glucose refinery were seperated by charcol and paper chromatography and tested for inductive activity individually，it was evident that the induction of cellulase formation by the molasses was mainly due to its sophorose impurity，the other impurity gentiobiose had only feeble inductive activity.The extracts of pods of Sophora japonica L.had similarly the ability to induce the production of cellulase.The principle and methods for increasing production were proposed on the basis of regulatory mechanism of cellulase formation.
