Thermophilic endoglucanase

摘要

The present invention provides a polypeptide that has a thermophilic endoglucanase activity, a DNA that comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide, a recombinant DNA and an expression vector that comprise the DNA, a transformant that is transformed by the expression vector, and a method of producing the polypeptide using the transformant. The endoglucanase of the present invention shows a maximum activity at a high temperature range around 97° C., so that it is industrially useful.
