Abstract
More than 80% of the extracellular Avicelase, endoglucanase, xylanase and mannanase activities of the anaerobic fungus Piromyces were associ ated with a cellulose-binding complex. The complex was composed of at least 10 polypeptides ranging in size from 190 kDa to 50 kDa, and cont ained numerous endoglucanases, xylanases and mannanases. Multiple gene s encoding each of these activities were isolated from an expressing c DNA library.
