Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cellulase cel5-KG65 gene derived from rumen microorganisms of a black goat, and uses thereof. More specifically, provided are a cel5-KG65 gene which is a novel cellulase gene separated from rumen microorganisms of a black goat and a protein product of the cel5-KG65 gene. The present invention relates to a feed additive using the cel5-KG65 gene, a detergent composition using the cel5-KG65 gene, and a biofuel manufacturing method using the cel5-KG65 gene. According to the present invention, a cel5-KG65 gene, which is a novel cellulase gene, can be separated from rumen microorganisms of a black goat, thereby providing a cellulase cel5-KG65 gene and a protein product of the cellulase cel5-KG65 gene. Therefore, the cellulase cel5-KG65 gene can be used to develop a low-priced feed additive, and can positively be used even for the production of biofuel using a decomposition process of cellulose which is an abundant resource as well as the development of a fabric conditioner and a detergent.
