Transformation of cellobiose during the interaction of cellobiose dehydrogenase and β-glucosidase of Cerrena unicolor.

This work investigated the regulatory role of the interaction between cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and β-glucosidase (β-GLU) in the conversion of cellobiose into cellobionolactone or glucose in vitro. To study the regulation, the two enzymes were isolated from the culture medium of the fungus Cerrena unicolor grown on a medium with microcrystalline cellulose. The enzymes were obtained in an electrophoretically homogeneous state.
