Abstract

An extracellular endoxylanase capable of binding to avicel was isolated and purified from Cellulomonas flavigena. The purified xylanase, posessing no cellulose hydrolysing activity, had a molecular weight of 53K as determined electrophoretically. Steady state adsorption to avicel was reached within 5 minutes at 20°C. The adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm with a dissociation constant at 0°C of 7.9E-8M and a saturation coefficient of 12 mg per gram with binding being stable for a wide range of ionic strengths down to 0.1M.
