Endoglucanase, particularly those, which can withstand extreme conditions are in demand in different industrial settings. In this direction, a halophilic cellulolytic bacterial strain EN1 was isolated from decomposed wood particles of India’s largest inland hypersaline Sambhar Lake in Rajasthan. Bas...
