Abstract
Abstract
Actinoalloteichus hoggarensis is a rare bacterial species that was isolated from the Algerian Saharan desert and is known for producing biologically active compounds. Despite its potential, little is understood about the enzymes it produces, including endoglucanases. These cellulase enzymes break down cellulose, the primary structural component of plant cell walls that provides strength and rigidity. The breakdown of cellulose by endoglucanases has numerous biotechnological applications, such as the production of biofuels, bioplastics, and paper. This study involves an in silico characterization of an endoglucanase from A. hoggarensis to gain insight into its structural and functional properties, with the goal of informing the development of novel biotechnological applications. Our study represents a major milestone in understanding the potential of this rare bacterial species and its enzymes, opening up exciting new avenues for further research and development.
