General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy eficiency and waste prevention when used in cellulosic ethanol research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-glucanases degrade β-1,4-glucans of cellulose, xyloglucan and β-1,4-xylan.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which will release 1 μmole of reducing sugar equivalents (expressed as glucose) per minute at pH 5.0 and 55 °C, using β-D-glucan (Cat. No. 49102) as substrate

In this study, we confirmed that at least three endo-β-1,4-glucanases existed in the digestive juice of the giant snail, Achatina fulica ferussac, by Congo red staining assay. One of these enzymes, a novel endo-β-1,4-glucanase (AfEG22), was purified 29.5-fold by gel

A new fusion gene (Bgl-licMB), encoding β-1,3-1,4-glucanase both from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Bgl) and Clostridium thermocellum (licMB), was constructed via end-to-end fusion and expressed in Escherichia coli to improve hydrolytic activity and thermostability of β-1,3-1,4-glucanase. The results of enzymatic properties showed
