Many biotechnological and industrial applications can benefit from cold-adapted EglCs through increased efficiency of catalytic processes at low temperature. In our previous study,  A1 which was isolated from a wood-inhabiting termite  could secrete a cold-adapted EglC. However, its EglC was difficult to purify for enzymatic properties detection because of its low activity (0.8 U/ml). The objective of the present study was to clone and express the  gene in  to improve production level and determine the enzymatic properties of the recombinant enzyme.
