“…Pans Man26A and the GH26 endomannanase from Aspergillus nidulans , Anid Man26A, were shown to have a significant −4 subsite, and to accommodate galactopyranosyl units not only in the −1 subsite, but also in −2 and +1, in contrast to the GH5 counterparts from A. nidulans Anid Man5A and Anid Man5C 24–26 . Several fungal GH26 endomannanases were found to have higher initial rates on soluble galactomannans than the tested GH5 endomannanases, with the GH26 endomannanase from Yunnania penicillata, Ypen Man26A, having the highest initial hydrolysis rate, closely followed by Anid Man26A and the GH26 endomannanase from Westerdykella sp , Wsp .Man26A 1 . However, the tested fungal GH26 endomannanases discriminated differently between the soluble mannans 1 , exemplified by the Ypen Man26A and the Wsp .Man26A which both had high initial hydrolysis rates on locust bean gum, but different rates on more heavily substituted galactomannan.…”
