 This paper reports the successful cloning, heterologous expression, characterization, and structural modeling of a cold-adapted polyelonase from Metabacillus Indicus. The enzyme has been shown to be highly active at low temperatures, retain its activity in the presence of detergents, and exhibit synergy with amylase during starch securification. This makes it a promising candidate for industrial exploitation. This article was authored by Zaraa Z. Olmoury, Amira M. M. Baby, Ahmed Hussein, and others.
