A xylanase (CG) from a solid-state wheat-bran culture of Chaetomium
gracile Mutant 1161 was purified by ethanol fractionation and CM-
Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography.  The purified CG was found to
be homogenous on PAGE.  The molecular weight was estimated to be 11,
000 by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, 19,000 by SDS-PAGE.  8 M Urea-
SDS-PAGE showed that this enzyme consisted of two subunits of 14,400
and 4,800.  The isoelectric point was 8.35.  The enzyme was
inactivated by NBS, SDS, PCMB, and HgCl2.  The maximum xylobiose (X2)-
forming activity (ability) was shown at pH 5.0 and 50-degrees-C; pH
and thermal stability ranges were at pHs 4.0 approximately 7.0 and up
to 45-degrees-C.  The purified CG could not hydrolyze X2.  From an
analysis of the bond cleavage of xylooligosaccharide-alditols, it was
found that the first bond from the non-reducing end of
oligosaccharides was not attacked, but the other bonds were
hydrolyzed by endo-type action.  At the maximum hydrolysis (more than
90%) of birch wood xylan, this xylanase produced X2 to 74
approximately 78% of the hydrolysates.
