• Resumen

  • -1,3-1,4-glucanases (or lichenases; EC 3.2.1.73) comprise one of the main enzymes used in industry during recent decades. These enzymes hydrolyze ?-glucans containing ?-1,3 and ?-1,4 linkages, such as cereal ?-glucans and lichenan. The ?-1,3-1,4-glucanases are produced by a variety of bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. A large number of microbial ?-1,3-1,4-glucanases have potential application in industrial processes, such as feed, food and detergent industries. The present review summarizes the available studies with respect to ?-1,3-1,4-glucanases production conditions, enzyme biochemical properties and potential industrial application. ? 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
