Filter paper electrophoresis and paper chromatography have been used to test the homogeneity of the ,8-glucosidase of Aspergillus oryzae. In the crude enzyme preparation there are at least eight components capable of breaking ,8-glucosidic linkages and showing varying degrees of specificity towards different substrates. These are active not only in splitting simple glucosides but also in depolymerizing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The only exception is provided by the enzymes splitting p-nitrophenyl-,8-glucoside, wWch are sharply limited to two closely related components. TWs two-component mixture has been partially purified from accompanying enzymes.

A cellulolytic alkalophile, Bacillus sp. No. N-4, was isolated from soil and found to be similar to Bacillus pasteurii, except for its ability to grow at high pH. The isolate grew well at a pH ranging from about 8 to 11 and was a good producer of carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity, which was associated with a multienzyme system. The crude enzyme preparation strongly hydrolyzed carboxymethyl cellulose and had a broad pH activity curve (pH 5–10). Two alkaline CMCases (enzyme E1 and E2) having an optimal pH for enzyme action at pH 10.0 were partially purified. The enzyme E2 was stable up to 80 °C, and E1 up to 60 °C. Both enzymes hydrolyzed cellotetraose and preferentially yielded cellobiose.

The culture filtrate from Aspergillus oryzae contains enzymes capable of depolymerizing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) and of splitting all ,B-glucosides tested. These enzymes are produced by the mould in the absence of cellulose or any other carbon source containing ,B-glucosidic linkages

Abstract 1. Methods are described for the separation, by paper electrophoresis and by cold ethanol, of α- and β-lipoproteins in 0.1 ml. of serum, with subsequent analysis of cholesterol in the separated portions. 2. It is shown that both methods of separation yield separated fractions containing substantially the same amounts of cholesterol. 3. Detailed data are given on the errors of measurement for total cholesterol and for cholesterol in the separated lipoprotein fractions. 4. Studies are reported on the stability of cholesterol in stored serum and on paper electrophoresis strips. It is shown that simple drying on filter paper causes no change in cholesterol content and yields a product that is stable for many weeks at ordinary room temperature. 5. The sources of variability in human serum cholesterol values are examined and it is shown that spontaneous intraindividual variability is a much greater source of error than the errors of measurement with these methods.
