NOVEL XYLANASE CONTAINING A NOVEL ALKALI RESISTANCE GLYCOSIDE HYDROLASE FAMILY, GH FAMILY 10 FROM MICROBACTERIUM SP. STRAIN HY-17

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel alkali-resistant xylanase corresponding to glycoside hydrolase family 10 (GH10) isolated from a Microbacterium sp. HY-17 strain. In particular, the xylanase has stability in an alkali environment and effectively hydrolyzes various kinds of xylans to hydrolyze β-glucan and decompose cellobiose. Accordingly, the xylanase of the present invention can be usefully used as an enzyme for the food industry, an enzyme for a fodder, a biomass pre-treating enzyme, and an enzyme for various industries including the pulp industry.
