Figure 1. Schematic representation <strong>of</strong> the recombinant wild-type cutinase from F.<br />

solani pisi (Araújo et al., 2007) <strong>and</strong> its new fusion proteins <strong>with</strong> the fungal<br />

carbohydrate-binding module <strong>of</strong> CBH I, from T. reesei, <strong>and</strong> the bacterial carbohydrate-<br />

binding module N1 <strong>of</strong> CenC, from C. fimi. The primary sequences <strong>of</strong> the linkers used<br />

are specified in the figure.<br />

2.12. Treatment <strong>of</strong> cellulose di- <strong>and</strong> triacetate fabric <strong>with</strong> cutinase fused to<br />

carbohydrate-binding modules<br />

All samples <strong>of</strong> cellulose acetate fabric used were previously washed as already<br />

described in 2.3.<br />

<strong>Cellulose</strong> acetate fabric samples <strong>with</strong> an average weight <strong>of</strong> 0.1 g were incubated <strong>with</strong><br />

100 U mL -1 <strong>of</strong> cutinase <strong>and</strong> cutinase-CBMN1, 50 U mL -1 <strong>of</strong> cutinase-PTboxCBMN1 <strong>and</strong><br />

cutinase-wtCBMT.reesei, 25 U mL -1 <strong>of</strong> cutinase-sCBMT.reesei in 10 mL <strong>of</strong> 50 mM<br />

phosphate buffer pH 8 <strong>with</strong> 0.01% sodium azide, under continuous vertical agitation at<br />

30º C <strong>and</strong> 20 rpm, for 18 hours. A control for both types <strong>of</strong> fabric was run in parallel in<br />
