Abstract
A modular mannanase (Man26A) from the bacterium Cellulomonas fimi contains a mannan-binding module (Man26Abm) that binds to soluble but not to insolub le mannans. Man26Abm does not bind to cellulose, chitin or xylan. The K-d f or binding of Man26Abm to locust bean gum (LBG) is similar to 0.2 mu M Man2 6A is the first mannanase reported to contain a mannan-binding module.
