Abstract: The present invention relates to modified family-8 cellulases that exhibit enhanced thermostability compared to the corresponding wild-type enzyme, polynucleotides encoding the modified cellulases, compositions comprising same and uses thereof. The variant family-8 cellulases are advantageous for the bioconversion process of cellulosic substrates.
