Cellulase is used for protoplast preparations. This enzyme shows a very high filter paper decomposing activity, as well as, appreciable xylanase and hemicellulase activity. It is an effective enzyme for use with pectolyase Y-23 for plant cell wall removal. It has been used in a study to assess the…

Pectolyase Y-23 is a highly purified maceration enzyme from Aspergillus niger. It contains two types of pectinase such as endopolygalacturonase and endo-pectin lyase in high activity. Included is a maceration stimulating factor which stimulates tissue maceration by both pectinases. Unit Definition:…
