Effects of Surfactants on the Activity of Acid Cellulase Enzyme

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Effects of several surfactants on the activity of acid cellulase enzyme were studied in this paper. The results show that addition of ionic surfactants to the enzyme decrease the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose sodium, while nonionic surfactants increase the activity of the enzyme. Among the surfactants examined, fatty amine polyoxyethylene ether (AC-1860) was the most effective. In the presence of 0.5 wt % of AC-1860, the activity of acid cellulose enzyme increased by 25.8%. This finding could lead to a reduction in the enzyme requirement for cellulose utilization.
