RESUMO
Cellulolytic enzymes were studied in extracts from the locular contents of ripening fruits of Lycopersicon esculentum var. KC-146. When acting on carboxymethyl cellulose, the enzyme preparations were capable of decreasing the viscosity of the reaction mixture and generating reducing groups, oligosaccharides, and glucose. Cellobiose cellotriose, cellotetrose, and cellopentose also served as substrates for glucose production.
