Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a mutant of endoglucanase, its coding gene and application. Background technique
[0002] Endoglucanase (1,4-β-D-endoglucanase, EC 3.2.1.4) can randomly act on the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds connecting glucose units in the long chain of cellulose from the inside to generate different lengths of glucose chains. If the enzyme works together with exoglucanase and β-glucosidase, the cellulose can be further degraded into glucose or other products that are easy to be further processed and converted, and finally generate high value-added biotechnology products. Therefore, endoglucanase has important application value in bioenergy, food processing, papermaking, washing and other industries.
[0003] Compared with other enzyme proteins, enzyme products derived from thermophilic bacteria not only have higher temperature stability, but also often have other stress resistance properties at the same time. Therefore, the application of therm...
