400–408. 1962.—The impurity in glucose responsible for cellulase induction in
Trichoderma viride
QM 6a has been isolated and characterized as sophorose (2-O-β-
d
-glucopyranosyl-
d
-glucose). It is present at 0.0058% in reagent grade glucose. Sophorose is a very powerful inducer of cellulase for
Trichoderma viride
, being 2500 times as active as cellobiose. Modifications of sophorose, such as reduction or glycoside formation, destroy its inducing ability. The high activity of sophorose as an inducer is specific for
T. viride
.
