We report for the first time the cloning and characterisation of a protozoal enzyme involved in plant cell wall polysaccharide degradation. A cDNA library was constructed from the ruminal protozoan Polyplastron multivesiculatum and a stable clone expressing xylanase activity was isolated. The encoded enzyme belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 11, and phylogenetic analysis indicates a closer relationship with catalytic domains from Gram-positive bacteria than the other fibrolytic eukaryotes from the rumen, the anaerobic fungi.
