Title:
CELLULASE PRODUCED BY ACTINOMYCETES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999025846
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A novel cellulase composition is provided which is producible by an Actinomycete. The cellulase has an approximate calculated molecular weight of 36 kD and has a pH optimum at 40 DEG C of 8 and at 60 DEG C of 7. Also provided is a DNA encoding said cellulase, a method for producing the cellulase and applications thereof.
