Abstract excerpt
The beta-glucosidase encoded by the bglA gene from Paenibacillus polymyxa has a half-life time of 15 min at 35 degrees C and no detectable activity at 55 degrees C. We have isolated random mutations that enhance the thermoresistance of the enzyme. Following a directed evolution strategy, we have combined some of the isolated mutations to obtain a beta-glucosidase with a half-life of 12 min at 65 degrees C, in the...
