Selection of method for obtaining an active mutanase preparation from Trichoderma harzianum
Crude mutanase preparations of Trichoderma harzianum were obtained from the culture supernatant by means of ammonium sulfate salting out, ultrafiltration, freeze-drying, concentration under reduced pressure, and fractional precipitation with organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, acetone). Ammonium sulfate was the worst precipitant, causing a fall in total mutanase activity by 47%. Other methods of enzyme recovery from the post-culture fluid yielded in most cases very good results in regard to specific and overall activities of the enzymatic preparations.
