CELLULASE CEL5H RELATED REAGENTS AND THEIR USE IN MICROORGANISMS

摘要

The invention relates to applications of the cellulase Cel5H of Saccharophagus degradans and its homologues, functional fragments and/or variants and engineered forms thereof, in the context of recombinant, more particularly solventogenic microorganisms, more particularly C. acetobutylicum. The invention also characterises a novel domain of the Cel5H cellulase with a putative cellulose-binding module function, and its uses in chimeric proteins for depolymerisation of cellulose containing substrates.
