Abstract
Endo-beta-1,4-mannanase from Thermotoga petrophila (TpMan) is a hyperthermostable enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-1,4-mannoside linkages in various mannan-containing polysaccharides. The biodegradation of mannan represents a key step for various industrial applications including delignification of kraft pulps, food processing and production of second-generation biofuels. A re…
