title: Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of Thermotoga neapolitana genes coding for enzymes of carbohydrate substrate degradation.
abstract: A genomic library of thermophilic anaerobic eubacterium Thermatoga neapolitana was constructed in E. coli using the pTZ19R plasmid vector. Some groups of recombinant clones with different cellulase activities were revealed: clones carrying genes for an 1,4-beta-glucanases, 1,3-beta-glucanases, beta-xylanases, beta-glucosidases and beta-xylosidases. One clone possessing avicelase activity was obtained. Some clones were selected with amylolytic activities toward amylose, amylopectin and pullulan.
