“…Many fungal and bacterial strains have been characterized for endoglucanase production; however, enzymes of bacterial origin could offer some advantages associated with its ability to thrive in harsh environments, relatively faster growth, and a better yield of the recombinant enzyme. Some of the recently reported GH5 endoglucanases are from Bacillus subtilis 1AJ3 (Ma et al, 2020), Thermoactinospora rubra YIM 77501T (Yin et al, 2020), Cellulomonas bogoriensis 69B4T (Li et al, 2020), Thermobifida alba AHK119 (Ohta et al, 2019), Aspergillus glaucus CCHA (Li et al, 2018), Saccharophagus degradans 2‐40T (Wang et al, 2016), Jonesia quinghaiensis (Lin et al, 2016), cow rumen metagenome (Patel et al, 2020), termite gut metagenome (Guerrero et al, 2020), porcine gut metagenome (Wang et al, 2019), rhizosphere metagenome (Wierzbicka‐Wos et al, 2019), soil metagenome (Kumar et al, 2019; Pimentel et al, 2017), hot spring metagenome (Gupta et al, 2017; Zarafeta et al, 2016), and so forth.…”
