Novel β-1,4 Endoglucanase Gene and Microorganisms Expressing It

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel β-1,4 endoglucanase gene. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel β-1,4 endoglucanase gene isolated from Pseudomonas sp. YD-15, which is searched for in soil. The present invention provides a β-1,4 endoglucanase having a nucleotide sequence of Pseudomonas genus YD-15 isolated from soil and a novel β-1,4 endoglucanase gene isolated therefrom and an amino acid sequence translated therefrom. do. Β-1,4 endoglucanase gene of the present invention and recombinant β-1,4 endoglucanase expressed therefrom convert fiber to useful components such as alcohol, decompose paper waste, produce protein from wheat, It may be used for various purposes for industrial use of fiber, such as hydrolysis.
