Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular relates to an alkali-resistant cellulase StrEgl and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Cellulase, as a highly active biocatalyst, has wide applications in the conversion and utilization of cellulose. Based on their substrates, sites of action, and products, cellulases can be divided into three main categories: endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, exo-1,4-β-D-glucannase, and β-1,4-glucosidase. Endo-glucanases can randomly cleave the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellulose molecules from within, producing shorter sugar chains or cellooligosaccharides, providing new sugar chain ends for subsequent degradation. Exo-glucanases act on the reducing or non-reducing ends of cellulose polysaccharide chains, while β-glucosidases can degrade cellobiose into glucose.

[0003] Cellulase has a wide range of applications and plays an important role in industries such as pulp and paper making, food brewing, feed production, and washing. Currently, most cellulases used in the market are derived from Trichoderma reesei or Aspergillus niger. They have low thermal stability and operate in acidic environments, making it difficult to meet the alkaline requirements of papermaking (pH between 7.5 and 9.5) and washing (pH around 7 to 10). Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an alkali-resistant cellulase StrEgl and its application; the cellulase StrEgl has alkali resistance and thermal stability, and can efficiently exert its enzymatic activity under high temperature and alkaline environments, and can be used for the development and application of industrial products.

[0007] Preferably, the cellulase StrEgl performs its enzymatic hydrolysis function in the temperature range of 40–100°C.

[0008] The present invention provides a gene encoding the cellulase StrEgl, the nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The alkali-resistant cellulase StrEgl provided by this invention has alkali resistance and can degrade cellulose under alkaline conditions; it has high relative enzyme activity in an environment with a pH of 4 to 8, all above 80%; and it still has good enzymatic activity in an environment with a pH of 9 to 10, with relative enzyme activities of 60% and 38%, respectively.

[0017] The cellulase StrEgl exhibits excellent enzyme activity stability within a pH range of 5–9. The residual enzyme activity did not decrease significantly after 1 hour of treatment, and 62.54% of the enzyme activity remained after treatment when the ambient pH was 10.

[0018] Meanwhile, the cellulase StrEgl has excellent thermal stability and can degrade cellulose under medium and high temperature conditions; its relative enzyme activity is higher than 90% at 40-60℃ and still has more than 40% relative enzyme activity at 80-100℃.

[0019] The cellulase StrEgl is also resistant to metal ions and chemical reagents; studies have found that the metal ion Mn 2+ and Co 2+ The chemical reagents 1% Tween 20 and 1% Tween 80 have a promoting effect on the activity of the cellulase StrEgl. However, EDTA, PMSF, Triton X-100, and Urea have no effect on the activity of the cellulase StrEgl.

[0020] In summary, the alkali-resistant cellulase StrEgl provided by this invention has excellent tolerance to pH, temperature, metal ions, and chemical reagents, making it very suitable for industrial applications and promising for use in papermaking, textiles, detergents, and other fields.
