Thermophilic cellulases and xylanases are promising enzymes for the lignocellulosic bioconversion, other enzymes like arabinofurnosidase and xylosidase from thermophiles also have a wide application in biotechnology and industries
Everybody talks about polymerases and cellulase but there are still other enzymes that are very important in the biotechnological applications. For example screening and isolating of pectinase enzyme from thermophiles is very demanding and important. The procedure is very simple and since it is extra cellular enzyme, the production yield is also very high even without cloning the genes into vectors. Pectinase enzymes have high demands in extracting juice from purée during the process of wine production.Other benefits include Textile processing and bioscouring of cotton fibers, Degumming of plant bast fibers, Coffee and tea fermentation, Waste water treatment,Purification of plant viruses and many more.
