Endoglucanase production was carried out using in-house isolate Aspergillus terreus on rice straw under solid state fermentation. An increase of 1.25-fold endoglucanase production was obtained under optimized conditions using response surface methodology. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by gel filtration chromatography. Its molecular weight was determined as 28.18 kDa by gel filtration and 29.13 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The enzyme displayed maximum activity at 50 degrees C and pH 4.8. It was stable for 240 min at 50 degrees C and 120 min at 60 degrees C but rapidly inactivated at 70 degrees C. The purified enzyme was specific towards carboxymethyl-cellulose but showed no activity for cellobiose or xylan. Maximum velocity (V-max) and K-M were 16.15 mu mol min(-1) mg(-1) and 12.01 mg ml(-1), respectively. AgNO3, KCl, NaCl, and MnSO4 were found to inhibit enzyme activity while CaCl2 and ZnSO4 activated the enzyme. Internal peptide mass fingerprinting analysis identified that the protein belongs to GH12 superfamily endoglucanases. External supplementation of the purified enzyme to the crude cellulase showed 38.7% increase in saccharification efficiency of the delignified rice straw compared to the crude cellulase alone. The results demonstrated that the addition of GH 12 family purified endoglucanase to the crude cellulase can efficiently convert lignodellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
