A comparison was made between the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and alkaline Cu methods of assaying for reducing sugars released during the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by culture filtrates from Trichoderma harzianum E58. The DNS method is more readily influenced by the incubation conditions and by components derived from lignocellulosic substrates. The endo-1,4-.beta.-D-glucanase [1,4-(1,3;1,4)-.beta.-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4]values obtained with the DNS assay were always considerably higher than those obtained with the alkaline Cu method and did not give reducing values that were proportional to the actual number of hemiacetal reducing groups. The alkaline Cu assay was not affected by the degree of polymerixation of the substrate. Although this latter method appeared to be superior to the DNS assay it was still affected by the incubation conditions, nature of the substrate and the influence of other celluluse components on each of the specific enzyme assays.
