Abstract:
A method for the production of a fungal xyloglucan endotransglycosylase enzyme (XET), comprising:(a) culturing in a suitable nutrient medium a fungus expressing a fungal XET under conditions conducive to the production of the XET, wherein the XET comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4; and an amino acid sequence having at least 80% homology with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:4, and exhibiting XET enzyme activity; and (b) recovering the XET from the nutrient medium.
