  • Genes of cell wall-degrading enzymes derived from aspergillus, and method for the production the enzymes
    Patent number: 7285407
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to isolate a gene encoding novel exo-, or endo-?-1,3-glucanase, to obtain a microorganism having an enhanced expression of said gene and to degrade ?-1,3-glucan to its low molecular weight form by means of said enzymes. The present invention relates to a gene or DNA encoding novel enzymes having ?-1,3-glucanase activity (exo-, or endo-?-1,3-glucanase), a recombinant expression vector comprising them, a microorganism having the recombinant expression vector, the novel enzymes having ?-1,3-glucanase activity, and a method for the production of said enzymes.
