(57) [Problem] To provide a thermophilic endoglucanase which is easily used industrially. SOLUTION: A polypeptide having a thermophilic endoglucanase activity, an isolated DNA containing a nucleotide sequence encoding the same, a recombinant DN containing the DNA A and an expression vector, a transformant transformed with the expression vector, and a method for producing the polypeptide using the transformant. The produced endoglucanase shows maximum activity at a high temperature of about 97 ° C., which is advantageous for industrial use. |
