Driselase from Basidiomycetes has been used in a study to assess the digestion by fungal glycanases of arabinoxylans with different feruloylated side-chains. Driselase from Basidiomycetes has also been used in a study to investigate the purification, characterization, and mode of action of a rhamnogalacturonan hydrolase.
Driselase is a natural mixture of enzyme activities (fungal carbohydrolases) used to digest plant cell walls to facilitate the maceration of plant materials, protoplast formation and extraction processes. Driselase releases cell wall carbohydrates.
This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in cellulosic ethanol research.
Driselase is a cell wall degrading enzyme that contains cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase etc. Therefore, it is very effective in removing plant cell walls to make protoplasts.
