Daily agro-industrial waste, primarily cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose, poses a significant environmental challenge. Harnessing lignocellulolytic enzymes, particularly endo-1,4-β-xylanases, for efficient saccharification is a cost-effective strategy, transforming biomass into high-value products. This study focuses on the cloning, expression, site-directed mutagenesis, purification, three-dimensional modeling, and characterization of the recombinant endo-1,4-β-xylanase (XlnA) from in . This work includes evaluation of the stability at varied NaCl concentrations, determining kinetic constants, and presenting the heterologous expression of XlnAΔ36 using pET22b(+). The expression led to purified enzymes with robust stability across diverse pH levels, exceptional thermostability at 50 °C, and 96-100% relative stability after 24 h in 3.0 M NaCl. Three-dimensional modeling reveals a GH11 architecture with catalytic residues Glu 132 and 22. XlnAΔ36 demonstrates outstanding kinetic parameters compared to other endo-1,4-β-xylanases, indicating its potential for industrial enzymatic cocktails, enhancing saccharification. Moreover, its ability to yield high-value compounds, such as sugars, suggests a promising and ecologically positive alternative for the food and biotechnology industries.
