A cellulolytic strain Y2 was isolated from soil obtained in the Canadian Alpine region. The isolate was identified as Paenibacillus sp. Y2 by 16S rRNA sequencing. When grown in LB medium supplemented with carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC), CMCase production increased to 122.0% of that observed in LB without CMC. Culture supernatant was concentrated by ultrafiltration and 80% ammonium sulfate precipitates were separated by Hi-Trap Q and CHT-II chromatography. The purified enzyme (EG-PY2) showed a homogeneous single band and the molecular mass was estimated to be 38 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were 4.5 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The half-life of enzyme activity at 50 was 140.7 min, but the enzyme was drastically inactivated within 5 min at $55^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was highly activated to 135.7 and 126.7% by 5.0 mM of $Cu^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$ ions, respectively, and moderately activated by $Ba^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ ions, whereas it was inhibited to 76.8% by $Fe^{2+}$, and to ${\leq}50%$ by $Mn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and EDTA. The enzyme was activated to 211.5% in the presence of 0.5 M of NaCl and greatly tolerant to 3.15M of NaCl. The enzyme showed 2.98 times higher ${\beta}$-glucanase activity than CMCase activity. Based on these results, it can be concluded that EG-PY2 is an acidophilic, cold-active, and halotolerant endoglucanase. The authors suggest it is considered to be useful for various industrial applications, such as, fruit juice clarification, acidic deinking processes, high-salt food processing, textile and pulp industries, and for biofuel production from seaweeds.

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)를 분해하는 미생물을 해수에서 분리하였으며, 16S rDNA의 염기서열을 분석하여 동정한 결과, Psychrobacter aquinaris로 학인 되어 P. aquinaris LBH-10로 명명하였다. 이 균주는 CMC, 셀로바이오스, 커드란, 여과지, p-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG), 풀루란 및 자일란을 분해하였으나, avicel 및 섬유소는 분해하지 못하였다. P. aquinaris LBH-10이 생산하는 carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase)의 최적 반응 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$이었으며, $20^{\circ}C$에서 $50^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 24시간이 경과한 후에도 90% 이상의 활성을 유지하였다. 또한, 이 균주가 생산하는 CMCase의 최적 반응 pH는 3.5이었으며 pH 2.5에서 pH 7.0 사이의 산성 조건하에서 24시간이 경과한 후에도 70% 이상의 활성을 유지하였다. P. aquinaris LBH-10이 생산하는 CMCase의 최적 반응 pH는 지금까지 발견된 섬유소 분해효소 중에서 가장 낮은 pH로 판단된다. 제한된 농도의 $CoCl_2$, EDTA, 및 $PbCl_2$은 P. aquinaris LBH-10가 생산하는 CMCase의 활성을 증가시켰으나, $HgCl_2$, KCl, $MnCl_2$, $NiCl_2$, 및 $SrCl_2$는 이 균주가 생산하는 CMCase의 활성을 감소시켰다.
