β ‐1,3‐1,4‐glucanases (or lichenases; EC 3.2.1.73) comprise one of the main enzymes used in industry during recent decades. These enzymes hydrolyze β ‐glucans containing β ‐1,3 and β ‐1,4 linkages, such as cereal β ‐glucans and lichenan. The β ‐1,3‐1,4‐glucanases are produced by a variety of bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. A large number of microbial β ‐1,3‐1,4‐glucanases have potential application in industrial processes, such as feed, food and detergent industries. The present review summarizes the available studies with respect to β ‐1,3‐1,4‐glucanases production conditions, enzyme biochemical properties and potential industrial application. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
