An Archaeal Chitinase With a Secondary Capacity for Catalyzing Cellulose and Its Biotechnological Applications in Shell and Straw Degradation

Numerous thermostable enzymes have been reported from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1, which made it an attractive resource for gene cloning. This research reported a glycosyl hydrolase (Tk-ChiA) form T. Kodakarensis with dual hydrolytic activity due to the presence of...
