Directed evolution of the bacterial endo-β-1,4-glucanase from Streptomyces sp. G12 towards improved catalysts for lignocellulose conversion

Abstract With the aim to develop biocatalysts for enhanced hydrolysis of (hemi)cellulose into monosaccharides, random diversity by directed evolution was introduced in the gene coding for the endo-β-1,4-glucanase from Streptomyces sp. G12 which had been recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli an...
