Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to an endoglucanase, its coding gene cel5A-h42 and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] As the main component of plant cell walls, cellulose is currently the most abundant renewable resource in nature, but its stubborn structure limits its utilization. The process of degrading cellulose into glucose requires endoglucanase (Endoglucanase, EC3.2.1.4), exoglucanase (exoglucanase, E.C.3.2.1.91) and β-glucosidase (β-glucosidase, E.C. 3.2.1.21) The three cellulase systems act together. Among them, endoglucanase is the most important component of the cellulase system, it mainly acts on the non-crystalline region of cellulose, randomly hydrolyzes the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds in the cellulose chain, cuts off the long chain of cellulose, It is converted into a large number of short chains with different degrees of polymerization, reducing the degree of polymerization of cellul...
