| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have ability to boost the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant polysaccharides. In the genome of Streotomyces griseus, 6 LPMO10 genes exist. We analyzed 5 SgLPMO10s and 4 of them showed ability to boost the enzymatic conversion towards alpha and beta-chitin. As regards to SgLPMO10F, we had published a paper in the FEBS Journal. SgLPMO10A, which is active on cellulose, showed novel activity as deacetylase. These data can be applied enzymatic conversion of polysaccharide biomass.
