METHOD OF PRODUCING CELLULASE AND CELLOOLIGOSACCHARIDE

摘要

It is intended to provide a method of producing an enzyme solution whereby a culture supernatant enzyme solution having a high cellulase activity and showing a high cellooligosaccharide selectivity can be surely obtained in a large amount in selectively producing cellobiose at a high yield by enzymatically digesting a cellulose-based starting material in the presence of cellulase; and a method of producing a cellooligosaccharide with the use of the enzyme solution as described above. Namely, a method of producing an enzyme solution containing cellulase which comprises culturing a microorganism of Trichoderma genus in a liquid medium containing a component originating in seeds of a plant of Malavaceaefamily.
