exoglucanase and endoglucanase

It is a combination of two cellulases: exoglucanase and endoglucanase. By inserting the two genes into the Multiple Cloning Site (MCS) blocks (with separate, two P7 promoters), the engineered bacteria can therefore produce two types of enzyme in huge amounts at the same time. We used the two enzymes to break down cellulose in plant cell walls [1] , thereby releasing a greater amount of essential oil.

The activity of cellulase was measured by DNS (3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid) method through the amount of reducing sugars liberated during hydrolysis.[2]

After adding CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose solution) into our cell culture, we first incubated the solution for 2 hours at room temperature, 50C and 90C in order to let the reaction take place. But we found out that the most significant impact on the result is when the incubation takes place at 50C.(See fig 1.) Therefore we chose to incubate the solution for 2 hours in 50C. After adding DNS reagent to the solution, we incubated the solution again for another 10 minutes in 50C to stop the reaction. We then add our solution into a 96-well transparent plate for OD measurement at 540 nm. Results are shown below.
