Mannans are main components of hemicellulosic fraction of softwoods and they are present widely in plant tissues. β-mannanases are the major mannan-degrading enzymes and are produced by different plants, animals, actinomycetes, fungi, and bacteria. These enzymes can function under conditions of wide range of pH and temperature. Applications of β-mannanases have therefore, been found in different industries such as animal feed, food, biorefinery, textile, detergent, and paper and pulp. This review summarizes the most recent studies reported on potential applications of β-mannanases and bioengineering of β-mannanases to modify and optimize their key catalytic properties to cater to growing demands of commercial sectors.
甘露聚糖是针叶树半纤维素部分的主要成分，广泛存在于植物组织中。β-甘露聚糖酶是主要的甘露聚糖降解酶，由不同的植物、动物、放线菌、真菌和细菌产生。这些酶能在广泛的pH和温度条件下发挥作用。因此，β-甘露聚糖酶已在动物饲料、食品、生物精炼、纺织、洗涤剂以及造纸和纸浆等不同行业得到应用。本文综述了关于β-甘露聚糖酶潜在应用以及对β-甘露聚糖酶进行生物工程改造以优化其关键催化特性以满足商业领域不断增长需求的最新研究。
