Endoglucanase IV Trichoderma reesei – a new component of biocatalysts based on the cellulase complex of the fungus Penicillium verruculosum for the hydrolysis of cellulose biomass

Improving the efficiency of enzyme preparations which performing conversion of cellulose is one of the most pressing technological challenges today. In this paper, the latest method is considered to increase the hydrolytic ability of cellulase preparations comprising administering a non-hydrolytic enzymes of the type of action (polysaccharidemonooxygenase) in cellulolytic complex. Enzyme preparation with increased hydrolytic capacity was obtained by a recombinant strain of the fungus Penicillium verruculosum, carrying gene endoglucanase IV Trichoderma reesei. Using this method it is possible to increase the effectiveness of cellulase complex up to 20 %.
