English abstract | In this study, a potential novel cellulolytic bacterium Arthrobacter sp . HPG166 was isolated from the hindgut of root - feeding larvae Holotrichia parallela . Optimization of fermentation factors for endoglucanase production by Arthrobacter sp . HPG166 was carried out via response surface methodology. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose 1.19% (w/v) and beef extract 0.35% (w/v) were the ideal combination of carbon and nitrogen sources for enzyme production; the optimum temperature and pH for cellulase production were 34°C and pH 8.0 respectively. Under the optimized fermentation conditions, the maximum endoglucanase activity of 1.411 U mL - 1 was obtained. The crude endoglucanase was thermotolerant as it retained 50.31% of its activity after incubation at 70°C for an hour. Metal profile of the enzyme indicated that Mg 2+ and Na + were strong stimulators while Mn 2+ and Co + drastically inhibited its activity. Due to its particular characteristics, this enzyme could have potential for industrial applications |
