Fig. 6From: Cellulosomal expansin: functionality and incorporation into the complexHydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose by two cellulases and CclEXL1. Degradation of Avicel was performed by exoglucanase GH48 and endoglucanase GH9 (0.5 µM each) with (blue curve) or without (red curve) the addition of CclEXL1 (0.5 µM). The reactions were performed with a simultaneous supplementation of enzymes and CclEXL1 (a) or with a 1-h preincubation step at 55 °C (b).
