Synergism between EG I and CBH I during hydrolysis of Avicel and cotton cellulose. The figure illustrates the synergistic action of endoglucanases and cellobiohydrolase enzymes on Avicel and cotton cellulose. Solid lines are results from combined action of enzymes and lines with points (theoretical) are sum of conversions from action of individual enzymes. Hydrolysis conditions: 100 g/L, EG I 10 mg/g glucans, CBHI 10 mg/g glucans (total 20 mg enzymes when act in mixture 1:1).
