The appearance of cell surface protuberances in Thermomonospora curvata correlated with cell-bound exoenzymes which could be removed by brief sonication. Mycelia grown on cellulose or xylan had numerous protuberances and retained 20 to 25% of endoglucanase and endoxylanase at cell surfaces, while those grown on pectin or starch had few protuberances and negligible bound pectinase or amylase.
