Driselase, Basidiomycetes sp

Description

Driselase, Basidiomycetes sp, a complex mixt. of wall-digesting enzymes, is a specific commercial fungal protoplasting enzyme preparation. Driselase can be used in combination with lyase to promote protoplast formation in fungi. Driselase is by far the most potent of the enzymes tested for polysaccharide digestion and greatly increases both tensile and indentation compliances, yet it does not induce wall creep, even after 6 h of digestion.
