ENZYME CAPABLE OF DEGRADING CELLULOSE OR HEMICELLULOSE

摘要

A cellulose- or hemicellulose-degrading enzyme which is derivable from a fungus other than Trichoderma or Phanero- chaete, and which comprises a carbohydrate binding domain homologous to a terminal A region of Trichoderma reesei cellulases, which carbohydrate binding domain comprises amino acid sequence (.alpha.) or a subsequence thereof capable of effecting binding of the enzyme to an insoluble cellulosic or hemicellulosic substrate.
