Characterization of Xylanase of Cladosporium cladosporioides H1 Isolated from Janggyeong Panjeon in Haeinsa Temple

Researchers discovered that Cladosporium cladosporioides H1, the most abundant microbe in Janggyeong Panjeon at Haeinsa Temple, produces a 20 kDa xylanase enzyme with notable stability below 60°C and optimal activity under acidic conditions. This finding holds potential for developing strategies to preserve organic cultural heritage environments, particularly those containing wooden artifacts like the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks. The study characterized the enzyme's properties, providing insights into its behavior under varying temperature and pH conditions, which could inform conservation efforts.
