Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to identify endoglucanase and β-glucosidase genes by isolating genomic DNA containing cellulase genes, which are classified into endoglucanases or β-glucosidases, from Acremonium cellulolyticus , and sequencing the nucleotide sequences thereof. The inventors intensively compared the amino acid sequences of known endoglucanases and β-glucosidases with each other to find conserved region of amino acid sequences in Acremonium cellulolyticus , and various primers were designed based on the information. PCR was carried out using the various primers thus designed and genomic DNA or cDNA as a template. As a result, gene fragments of endoglucanases and β-glucosidases were obtained. Primers were designed based on the gene fragments, and PCR was carried out to amplify nine genes of endoglucanases and β-glucosidases. The nucleotide sequences thereof were sequenced, and the present invention was completed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a protein and an effective amount of an added preservative, wherein said protein consists of the amino acid sequence of residues 1-301 of SEQ ID NO: 14. 2. A protein having endoglucanase activity, wherein said protein consists of the amino acid sequence of residues 1-301 of SEQ ID NO: 14 with a single substitution.
