摘要 |
The present invention relates to novel polypeptides and enzymes (e.g., thermostable proteins and enzymes) having activities relating to biomass processing and/or degradation (e.g., cell wall deconstruction), as well as polynucleotides, vectors, cells, compositions and tools relating to same, or functional variants thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to secreted enzymes that may be isolated from the fungi Rhizomucor miehei strain CBS 182.67, Thermoascus thermophilus (Dactylomyces thermophilus) strain ATCC 26413, and Humicola hyalothermophila strain CBS 454.80. Uses thereof in various industrial processes such as in biofuels, food preparation, animal feed, pulp and paper, textiles, detergents, waste treatment and others are also disclosed. |
