What is Release of lignin from kraft pulp by a hyperthermophilic xylanase from Thermatoga maritima about?
The cloning, sequencing, and expression in E. coli of a gene from the h\_yperthermophile, Thermatoga matitima, encoding a thermostable xylanase is reported. The enzyme is active at 100°C for several hours and efJicient in releasing lignin from kraft pulp. Comparison of the T. maritima recombinant enzyme with a commercially available xylanase, Pulpzyme, indicated that the hyperthermophilic enzyme has several advantages that make it an attractive biotechnological reagent. In studies of the release of reducing sugars and lignin from hardwood and softwood kraft pulp, the specific activity for the partiallv pur$ed enzyme was 131 U mg-'. The enzyme released reducing sugars and aromatic materials from the pulp suspensions over a pH range from 3.5-10.
Who reads Release of lignin from kraft pulp by a hyperthermophilic xylanase from Thermatoga maritima?
