Abstract

Highlights• Bacillus krulwichiae BW4(3) produces cellulase active at pH 11 and 50 °C • The cellulase retains high activity under moderate saline conditions • High substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency were demonstrated • Mn 2+ , K + , and Mg 2+ enhance cellulase activity and stability • Soybean meal enables cost-effective cellulase production at scale

Fields of Study & Subjects

thermodynamics and calorimetric analyses Biofuel production and bioconversion biodegradable polymer synthesis and properties
