Abstract

The crystalline style of the gastropod Telescopium telescopium contains two (1→3)-β- d-glucanases and a β- d-glucosidase. The two glucanases (I and II) have been purified and shown to be endo-enzymes. Both enzymes attack laminarin, carboxymethylpachyman, and lichenin, but have no action towards carboxymethyl-cellulose. The main products of hydrolysis of laminarin are d-glucose and β-(1→3)-linked oligosaccharides of d.p. 2, 3, and 4. Glucanases I and II are similar to each other, although they differ in molecular weight and kinetic properties.
