Title:
ZYGOMYCETES-ORIGIN ENDOGLUCANASE LACKING CELLULOSE-BINDING DOMAIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/042474
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A protein which is a Zygomycetes-origin endoglucanase lacking the cellulose-binding domain and showing an endoglucanase activity; and methods of using this enzyme. Thus, the effects of the endoglucanase can be enhanced in processing fibers (for example, reducing fluffing of cellulose-containing fibers, improving texture and appearance, lightening fiber colors, locally changing fiber colors, softening), deinking waste papers, and improving freeness of paper pulps.
