Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising polypeptides having xylanase activity and polypeptides having arabinofuranosidase activity for use in, e.g., animal feed. The present invention further relates to polypeptides having arabinofuranosidase activity, polypeptides having xylanase activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of an isolated arabinanase enzyme comprising the activities of (1-5)-α-arabinofuranosidic linkage endohydrolysis in (1-5)-α-L-arabinans (EC 3.2.1.99), and hydrolysis of (1-5)-α-arabinofuranosidic linkages at the non-reducing end of α-L-arabinans or α-L-arabinose-oligomers (EC 3.2.1.55), particularly an arabinan-degrading enzyme isolated from Arxula adeninivorans as feed additive in livestock breeding. Furthermore, the invention relates to the application of the arabinanase in the production of fruit juices or biofuels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase activity and isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.
Abstract:
Isolated and/or purified polypeptides and nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius are provided. Further provided are methods of at least partially degrading, cleaving, or removing polysaccharides, lignocellulose, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, starch, chitin, polyhydroxybutyrate, heteroxylans, glycosides, xylan-, glucan-, galactan-, or mannan-decorating groups using isolated and/or purified polypeptides and nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a genetically modified fungal cell of the genus Trichoderma capable to express the regulatory protein VEL1 in a higher amount compared to the unmodified wild type fungal cell.
Abstract:
Methods to convert lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars with enzymes that degrade the lignocellulosic material are provided, as well as novel combinations of enzymes, including those that provide a synergistic release of sugars from plant biomass.
Abstract:
Thermostable enzyme technology for algal bioconversion The present invention relates to thermostable enzyme systems suitable for use in the production of biofuels and bio-products from algae, and to a method of producing energy feedstocks, stocks, specifically (i) fermentable sugars and (ii) lipid fractions from algae, for the production of biofuels such as bioethanol, biobutanol and bio-oils or biodiesel, as well as other value-added biomolecules (e.g. proteins, peptides, oils, pigments, nucleic acids).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the modification of cereal bran, a method for the production of a modified cereal bran product as well as the use of such products in the production of food products.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the abfB-2 gene of Penicillium funiculosum that codes for a type B α-L-arabinofuranosidase and has a cellulose binding domain. The enzyme α-L-arabinofuranosidase can be incorporated in nutritional additives or in foods for animals for which it improves the digestibility and thus the nutritional value.
