Excellent- More about Microbial Beta Glucanases: Molecular Structure, Functions and Applications
This book provides an overview of beta glucanase enzymes derived from actinobacteria, their structure, functions, and industrial applications. It covers beta glucanase screening, structural characterisation, genetic engineering, protein engineering, purification, and synthesis. Beta glucanases have significant interest in industrial biotechnology due to their ability to hydrolyze insoluble beta glucan molecules. They are characterised extensively in microorganisms and plants, and their specificity and mechanism of action make them valuable for industrial processes. Genetic and protein engineering advances have improved the stability, activity, and thermodynamic properties of beta glucanases, making them useful for various industrial sectors.

This comprehensive book provides an in-depth exploration of beta glucanase enzymes derived from actinobacteria, encompassing their structure, functions, and diverse industrial applications. It summarizes the utilization of actinomycetes for beta glucanase production, assay methods for screening, structural characterization, genetic engineering, protein engineering, purification strategies, characterization, and the synthesis of hybrid enzymes. Beta glucanases hold significant importance in industrial biotechnology due to their unique ability to hydrolyze insoluble beta glucan molecules and their applications in various industrial sectors, including food, feed, and beverages. These enzymes have been extensively characterized in microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and plants. Actinobacterial beta glucanases exhibit specific activity towards beta-glucan substrates, cleaving mixed linkage beta-glucan chains at distinct points. This specificity allows for the identification of specific substrates for each enzyme type within this enzyme group, distinguishing them from cellulases, excluding β-1,4-glucanases. The advancements in genetic and protein engineering have significantly improved the stability, activity, and thermodynamic properties of actinobacterial beta glucanases, making them more relevant for industrial applications. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students engaged in industrial biotechnology, enzyme production, molecular biology, protein engineering, and related fields.
