Abstract

There is a wide range of applications for β-1,4-endoglucanase in the detergent industry, which with good low temperature and alkaline tolerance is an important prerequisite for its industrial application. In this thesis, a novel β-1,4-endoglucanase gene EgDC from Deinococcus cellulosilyticus with low-temperature tolerance was obtained by gene mining. It was expressed in Escherichia coli, with most of it existed in the periplasmic space and a small portion secreted to the extracellular space. The enzymatic properties of EgDC enzyme were characterized, and it was found that the optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were 40 °C and pH6.5, respectively. It could maintain more than 70% of its activity at 20 °C, while its half-life reached 83.43 min and 53.79 min at pH8.0 and pH9.0. The β-1,4-endoglucanase EgDC had good catalytic properties with specific enzyme activity and kcat/Km values reaching (26.38±1.43) U/mg and (520.03±17.07) s-1/mg, respectively, which is also highly tolerant to metal ions and surfactants. Thus, the new β-1,4-endoglucanase EgDC has good catalytic ability and is stable at low temperature, alkaline environment and in the presence of surfactant. Therefore, it has potential industrial applications.
