Expression of endo-1, 4-beta-xylanase from Trichoderma reesei in Pichia pastorisand functional characterization of the produced enzyme

Abstract

In recent years, xylanases have attracted considerable research interest because of their potential in various industrial applications. The yeast Pichia pastoris can neither utilize nor degrade xylan, but it possesses many attributes that render it an attractive host for the expression and production of industrial enzymes.
