ABSTRACT
Coproduction of alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, amyloglucosidase, cellulase, xylanase, pectinase and beta-galactosidase by Sclerotium rolfsii was studied on various polysaccharides. Starch induced alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, amyloglucosidase and beta galactosidase; cellulose induced cellulase, xylanase, pectinase and beta-galactosidase; and pectin induced pectinase and beta-galactosidase. None of the enzymes studied except beta-galactosidase were induced on xylan. Group controlled mechanism for production of carbohydrases by Sclerotium rolfsii is suggested.
