摘要 |
The present invention concerns a novel enzyme, EGV, having endoglucanase activity. The molecular weight of the enzyme is about 20 to 25 kDA and it is isolated from the fungus Trichoderma reesei. The invention also relates to a DNA sequence coding for the novel enzyme as well as vectors, yeast strains and fungal strains containing the DNA sequence. Furthermore, the invention concerns a method for isolating the DNA sequence coding for the novel enzyme and for constructing yeast and fungal strains which are capable of expressing endoglucanase. The invention also provides an enzyme product having endoglucanase activity and methods for enzymatically modifying lignocellulosic materials, in particular for modification or degradation of cellulose and/or beta -glucan.
