Recursos en línea: Resumen: A method for the visualization of exo-P-1,3-glucanase activity in polyacryl- amide gels is presented. The procedure consists of the enzyme reaction in the gel with the substrate a-naphthylglucopyranoside, and a subsequent staining of the obtained a-naphthol with dyes Fast Red B, or Fast Blue BB, respec- tively. A mixture of exoglucanases produced by the fungus Polyporus squa- moms was used for the optimization of the method. The procedure is applic- able for the standard Laemmli discontinuous electrophoresis system, even in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, as well as for electrophoresis in linear gradients of the polyacrylamide concentration. The staining method was used for the analysis of exoglucanases secreted by several yeast genera. All yeasts tested produced two types of exoglucanases, a high molecular mass species heterogeneous in size, and one or two smaller homogeneous enzymes.
