New isolate of Streptomyces sp. with novel thermoalkalotolerant cellulases

Abstract

A Streptomyces sp. was isolated that produced novel thermoalkalotolerant cellulase activity after growth on crystalline cellulose at 50°C. Three major components of the cellulases (CMCase, Avicelase and cellobiase) were produced with maximal activities (11.8, 7.8 and 3.9 IU/ml) and maximum specific activities 357, 276 and 118 IU/mg protein, respectively, after 120 h growth. Maximum CMCase activity was between 50 and 60°C measured over 3 h. The …
