Optimization, Isolation, Purification, and Characterization of a Thermally Stable, Acidophilic Cellulase from Aspergillus awamori AFE1 for Industrial and Biotechnological Applications
Abstract:The ceaseless quest for economical cellulase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes cellulose, has led to exploring diverse environments, such as insect guts. In this study, we report the optimization of cellulase production and isolation, purification, and characterization of cellulose-degrading enzymes from Aspergillus awamori AFE1. Aspergillus awamori AFE1 was screened for its cellulase-degrading ability, and molecular and phylogenetic analyses of the isolate were performed. Two activity peaks were observed during ion … Show more
