We previously isolated and reported a second species of the Saccharophagus genus, Saccharophagus sp. strain Myt-1. In the present study, a cellulase gene (celMytB) from the genomic DNA of Myt-1 was cloned and characterized. The DNA sequence fragment contained an open reading frame of 1,893 bp that encoded a protein of 631 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 66.8 kDa. The deduced protein, CelMytB, had a catalytic domain that contained a conserved signature sequence (VIYEIYNEPL) of glycosyl hydrolase family 5 and a CBM6 cellulose binding module. CelMytB showed optimal activity at 55 °C and pH 6.5, which is similar to the optimal temperature and pH profile of cel5H, an endoglucanase from the closely related S. degradans 2-40. However, the cellulase (degradation of soluble cellulose) and avicelase (degradation of crystalline cellulose) activities of CelMytB were about 3-fold and 100-fold higher, respectively, than the equivalent activities of cel5H. Moreover, CelMytB could degrade xylan. From the zymogram results, we speculated that the catalytic domain of CelMytB had high activity even without the cellulose binding module. The presence of some detergents stimulated the cellulase activity of CelMytB.
