The basidiomycete fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum causes a typical brown rot and is known to use reactive oxygen species in the degradation of cellulose. The extracellular Cel12A is one of the few endo-1,4- beta -glucanase produced by G. trabeum. Here we cloned cel12A and heterologously expressed it in...
