Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Bacillus licheniformis-1 elaborated a constitutive extracellular CMCase. The temperature and pH optima of the enzyme were 55°C and 6.1 respectively. Its production was enhanced in the presence of easily metabolisable sugars and was lower when cellulosic sources were used.
