Abstract
A purified thermostable enzyme is derived from the eubacterium T. maritima. The enzyme has a molecular weight as determined by gel electrophoresis of about 35 kilodaltons and has cellulase activity. The enzyme can be produced from native or recombinant host cells and can be used to aid in the digestion of cellulose where desired.
