Abstract excerpt
Mannanase is an important enzyme involved in the degradation of mannan, production of bioactive oligosaccharides, and biobleaching of kraft pulp. Mannanase must be thermostable for use in industrial applications. In a previous study, we found that the thermal stability of mannanase from Streptomyces thermolilacinus (StMan) and Thermobifida fusca (TfMan) is enhanced by calcium. Here, we investigated the...
