Abstract excerpt
There have been two major problems preventing applications of termite cellulases; one was difficulty for their hetelologous overexpression, and another is their low thermostability. We previously achieved adaptation of termite cellulase genes to an overexpression system of Escherichia coli by family shuffling of four orthologous cDNAs (Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem., 2005; 69: 1711-1720). Using the adapted mutant...
