α-l-Rhamnosidases are catalysts of industrial tremendous interest, but their uses are still somewhat limited by their poor thermal stabilities and selectivities. The thermophilic <i>Dt</i>Rha from <i>Dictyoglomus thermophilum</i> was cloned, and the recombinant protein was easily purified to homogeneity to afford 4.5 mg/L culture of biocatalyst. Michaelis-Menten parameters demonstrated it to be fully specific for α-l-rhamnose. Most significantly, <i>Dt</i>Rha demonstrated to have a stronger pref ...[more]
