Methods of Using Thermal Tolerant Avicelase from Acidothermus Cellulolyticus

NREL (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

The invention provides a thermal tolerant (thermostable) cellulase, AviIII, that is a member of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family. AviIII was isolated and characterized from Acidothermus cellulolyticus, and, like many cellulases, the disclosed polypeptide and/or its derivatives may be useful for the conversion of biomass into biofuels and chemicals.
