Xyloglucan/xyloglucan-oligosaccharide degradation-related enzymes, such as isoprimeverose-producing oligoxyloglucan hydrolase, β-galactosidase, extracellular- and intracellular-α-xylosidases and xyloglucan-specific endo-β-1,4-glucanases, were identified and characterized in Aspergillus oryzae. The gene expressions of some of these glycoside hydrolases were induced in the presence of xyloglucan-oligosaccharides and these enzymes hydrolyzed xyloglucan/xyloglucan-oligosaccharides cooperatively.
