Description
This part contains the entire bgl1 gene from trichoderma reesei. Bgl1 has a significant role in producing cellulase, an enzyme that breaks down cellulose through hydrolysis. It is highly valuable in that any organism that is inserted with this gene through genetic recombination can produce cellulase, thereby being able to break down a major component in plant biomass. Due to the trichoderma reesei's exceptional capacity to produce large amounts of cellulase, this bgl1 gene can be used in generating cellulase in great efficiency. Thus, users can insert this gene to design a genetically modified organism that has obtained the ability to produce cellulase. Regarding that most animals, humans, and even the most-known microorganisms like E.coli do not have cellulase, this part presents us with high applicability in bio-engineering and in diverse industries.
Notes
No additional considerations were necessary since the designed sequence consists of the whole bgl1 gene.
Source
The gene is a part of the genome of trichoderma reesei. It is obtained through direct DNA extraction method.
