Dispersed cellulose ribbons from bacterial cellulose were subjected to digestion with cloned Cel7A (cellobiohydrolase [CBH] I) and Cel6A (CBH II) fromHumicola insolens either alone or in a mixture and in the presence of an excess of β-glucosidase. Both Cel7A and Cel6A were effective in partially converting the ribbons into soluble sugars, Cel7A being more active than Cel6A. In combination, these enzymes showed substantial synergy culminating with a molar ratio of approximately two-thirds Cel6A and one-third Cel7A. Ultrastructural transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations indicated that Cel7A induced a thinning of the cellulose ribbons, whereas Cel6A cut the ribbons into shorter elements, indicating an endo type of action. These observations, together with the examination of the digestion kinetics, indicate that Cel6A can be classified as an endo-processive enzyme, whereas Cel7A is essentially a processive enzyme. Thus, the synergy resulting from the mixing of Cel6A and Cel7A can be explained by the partial endo character of Cel6A. A preparation of bacterial cellulose ribbons appears to be an appropriate substrate, superior toValonia or bacterial cellulose microcrystals, to visualize directly by TEM the endo-processivity of an enzyme such as Cel6A.
