摘要:
The present invention relates to a modified cellulase protein which is advantageously used in the treatment of textiles. Particularly, a method for treating a cellulose containing fabric is provided comprising the steps of forming an aqueous solution comprising a cellulase composition which differs from a precursor cellulase in that it has been enlarged and contacting the aqueous solution with a cellulose containing fabric for a time and under conditions appropriate to treat the fabric. The enlarged cellulase may comprise a multimeric composition of two or more distinct cellulase units or a single cellulase which has had adhered thereto polymeric or fibrous constituents.

Also provided are methods of hydrolyzing a cellulosic material with beta-glu-cosidase enhanced whole cellulase compositions. The present disclosure further provides methods of decreasing the amount of a whole cellulase required to hydrolyze a cellulosic material by adding an effective amount beta-glucosidase.
摘要:
The present teachings provide methods of converting cellulosic materials to soluble sugars. Methods for increasing the yield of glucose from the enzymatic saccharification of cellulosic materials is also provided. The present teachings further provide methods of increasing the yield of cellobiose from the enzymatic saccharification of cellulosic materials.
摘要:
Textile fibers are treated with enzymes in the absence of surfactants, with the effect of increasing the wettability and absorbency of the fibers. The enzymes are pectinases, cellulases, proteases, lipases or combinations thereof. The wetting properties of cotton fibers are found to be most substantially improved by treatment with a mixture of cellulase and pectinase. The effects of five hydrolyzing enzymes on improving the hydrophilicity of several polyester fabrics have been studied. Four out of the five lipases studied improve the water wetting and absorbent properties of the regular polyester fabrics more than alkaline hydrolysis under optimal conditions (3N NaOH at 55.degree. C. for 2 hours). Compared to aqueous hydrolysis, the enzyme reactions have shown to be effective under more moderate conditions, including a relatively low concentration (0.01 g/L), a shorter reaction time (10 minutes), at an ambient temperature (25.degree. C.). Contrary to the results with alkaline hydrolysis, the improved water wettability is accompanied by full strength retention. Lipase has also shown to be effective in improving the wetting and absorbent properties of sulfonated polyester and microdenier polyester fabrics.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to purified EG III cellulase enzyme isolated from Trichoderma longibrachiatum and the amino acid sequence of the secreted (mature) and non-secreted (preprotein) forms. The present invention is further directed to the DNA fragment and sequence that encodes the EG III cellulase enzyme. Also disclosed are methods for isolating either purified or highly enriched EG III cellulase obtained from Trichoderma spp. or genetically modified strains of Trichoderma spp.
摘要:
The use is provided composition as a feed additive which comprises one or more endoglucanases, and 0-20% by weight, based upon the content of cellulase proteins in the composition, of a cellobiohydrolase. The endoglycanases may be one or more of EGI, EGII, EGIII and any functionally active derivative of any thereof. Such endoglucanases may be obtained from a genetically modified strain of the fungus Trichoderma. Also provided is an enzyme-based feed additive which comprises EGI and/or EGII which lack the cellulose binding domain, and 0-20% by weight, based upon the content of cellulase proteins in the additive, of a cellobiohydrolase. A further enzyme-based feed additive is provided which comprises a cereal-based carrier, one or more endoglucanases, and 0-20% by weight, based upon the content of cellulase proteins in the additive, of a cellobiohydrolase.
