Abstract
A glucoside hydrolase gene egl01 was cloned from the soil DNA of Changbai Mountain forest by homologous PCR amplification The deduced sequence of 517 amino acids included a catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolase family 5 and was homologous to a putative cellulase from Bacillus licheniformis The recombinant enzyme Egl01 was maximally active at pH 5 and 50 °C and it was stable at pH 3–9 4–50 °C and also stable in the presence of metal ions organic solvents surfactants and salt Its activity was above 120 in 2–3 M NaCl/KCl and over 70 was retained in 1–4 M NaCl/KCl for 6d Egl01 hydrolyzed carboxymethyl cellulose beechwood xylan crop stalk laminarin filter paper and avicel but not pNPG indicating its broad substrate specificity These properties make this recombinant enzyme a promising candidate for industrial applications
