We previously reported a set of potential carbohydrate-active enzymes from the metatranscriptome of the Hu sheep rumen microbiome. In this study, we isolated and heterologously expressed two novel glucanase genes, Cel5A-h38 and Cel5A-h49, finding that both recombinant enzymes showed the optimum temperatures of 50 °C. Substrate-specificity determination revealed that Cel5A-h38 was exclusively active in the presence of mixed-linked glucans, such as barley β-glucan and Icelandic moss lichenan, whereas Cel5A-h49 (EC 3.2.1.4) exhibited a wider substrate spectrum. Surprisingly, Cel5A-h38 initially released only cellotriose from lichenan and further converted it into an equivalent amount of glucose and cellobiose, suggesting a dual-function as both endo-β-1,3-1,4-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.73) and exo-cellobiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.91). Additionally, we performed enzymatic hydrolysis of sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis) and rice (Orysa sativa) straw using Cel5A-h38, revealing liberation of 1.91 ± 0.30 mmol/mL and 2.03 ± 0.09 mmol/mL reducing sugars, respectively, including high concentrations of glucose and cellobiose. These results provided new insights into glucanase activity and lay a foundation for bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass.In this study, cassava starch aldehyde was functionalized with catechin through acid catalyzed condensation reaction. The structural characterization, stability and antioxidant activity of starch aldehyde-catechin conjugates were investigated. Thin layer chromatography revealed the conjugates did not contain free catechin. UV-vi
