Abstract: Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to fermentable glucose is the most important technological process among all possible enzyme technologies. Thermophilic fungi are potential sources of enzymes with scientific and commercial interests. From the collection of microscophic fungi isolated from ecological niches of Georgia at S.Durmishidze institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology of Agricultural University thermophilic micromycetes -active producers of stable cellulases has been selected. Four endoglucanases were purified to homogeneity from Sporotrichum pulverulentum, Aspergillus wentii, Aspergillus versicolor, Chaetomium thermophile culture medium. Some kinetic, physical and chemical properties of purified engodlucanases (Molecular mass, isoelectric point, carbohydrates content, pH, temperature optimums, Km, Kcat, Vmax, Ki, Henries constant Kp, substrate specificity) has been studied.
