A truncated glucanase with an improved thermal stability and a higher specific enzymatic activity than the wild-type enzyme. The truncated glucanase is obtained by removing a number of amino acid residues from the C-terminal of the wild-type 1,3-1,4-&#x3b2;-D-glucanase of. The removal of the C-terminal amino acid residues can be conducted at the genetic level by modifying the gene encoding for the wild type enzyme using, for example, a PCR-based method. Or, it can also be conducted at the protein level by first producing the wild-type enzyme protein and then subjecting the wild-type protein to certain protease action to remove a portion of its C-terminal.
