Discovery of a Novel Glucuronan Lyase System in Trichoderma parareesei

Abstract

This paper reports the discovery of a set of six complementary glucuronan lyase enzymes in the mycoparasite Trichoderma parareseei . Apart from the novelty of the discovery of these enzymes in T. parareesei , the key importance of the study is the finding that the majority of these lyases are induced when T. parareesei is inoculated on Basidiomycete cell walls that contain glucuronan.
