Abstract excerpt

The endoglucanase (BSC) from Bacillus subtilis IFO 3034, which shows no ability to hydrolyze microcrystalline cellulose, was found to bind to Avicel. Ninety-eight amino acids-truncation at the COOH-terminus of BSC did not abolish the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-hydrolyzing ability, but removed...
