Characterization of a novel thermostable GH16 β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Streptomyces lividans with potential industrial applications.
A novel GH16 β-1,3-1,4-glucanase, SlGH16, was identified from Streptomyces lividans and exhibits considerable thermostability and a broad pH tolerance, retaining appreciable activity under industrially relevant high-temperature and extreme pH conditions. SlGH16 preferentially hydrolyzes barley β-glucan to produce low-m...
