Exo-mode of Action of Cellobiohydrolase Cel48C from Paenibacillus sp. BP-23: A Unique Type of Cellulase Among Bacillales

Authors: Marta M. Sánchez, F. I. Javier Pastor, Pilar Diaz

Field: Microbiology, Faculty of Biology, University of Barcelona, Spain

Document Content: This document details the isolation, cloning, purification, and characterization of a novel cellobiohydrolase, designated Cel48C, from *Paenibacillus sp. BP-23*. The enzyme is a unique type of cellulase among Bacillales, exhibiting an exo-mode of action from the reducing ends of the sugar chain. The study describes its multidomain structure, catalytic activity on various cellulosic substrates, and its potential role in the degradation of natural cellulosic materials. The research contributes to understanding the diversity and function of cellulolytic enzymes in bacterial systems.
