Table 3 Apparent kinetic parameters of the purified FsXEG12A toward the various polysaccharides

From: Characterization of FsXEG12A from the cellulose-degrading ectosymbiotic fungus Fusarium spp. strain EI cultured by the ambrosia beetle

Substrate	K_m (mg/mL)	k_cat (/s)	k_cat/K_m (mL/s/mg)
CMC	5.8 ± 0.4	380 ± 20	65.5
MCC	34.7 ± 5.7	55 ± 2	1.6
Xyloglucan	0.74 ± 0.06	760 ± 30	1027.0
Lichenan	0.84 ± 0.04	710 ± 20	845.2
Glucomannan	7.8 ± 1.1	350 ± 40	44.9

Data are mean ± standard deviation of three experiments. Recombinant FsXEG12A (1.0 μM) was incubated with substrates in 50 mM acetate buffer (pH 3.0) at 37 °C
