Abstract:
The invention relates to an enzyme which is able to degrade hyaluronic acid and which is produced by fungi of the genus Fistulina (especially Fistulina hepatica ). The degradation proceeds by lyase mechanism in which double bonds between C4 and C5 of glucuronic acid are formed. The invention also includes the process of preparation and purification of the enzyme and a possible practical use thereof for the preparation of low-molecular hyaluronan or of cosmetic or pharmaceutical devices. Further, the invention relates to the method of preparation of low-molecular hyaluronan.

Abstract:
A novel antibacterial protein capable of inhibiting the growth of plant pathogenic fungi such as Pyricularia orizae and Rhizoctonia solani, which are the two major pathogenic fungi of rice, at a relatively low concentration is detected and identified. Also, the gene of this protein is cloned. This protein is characterized by: being obtained from a fraction of an aqueous extract of a mushroom precipitated by the ammonium sulfate precipitation method; having an antibacterial activity at least on Pyricularia orizae or Rhizoctonia solani; when determined by the gel filtration method, showing a molecular weight of about 210 kD; in the SDS-PAGE method, showing the presence of components of about 50 kD and about 15 kD; sustaining the above antibacterial activity when heated in an aqueous neutral solution at 60 DEG C for 10 minutes; and losing the antibacterial activity when heated in an aqueous neutral solution at 80 DEG C for 10 minutes.
