This invention relates to novel enzymes and novel methods for producing
the same. More specifically this invention relates to a variety of fungal
enzymes. Nucleic acid molecules encoding such enzymes, compositions,
recombinant and genetically modified host cells, and methods of use are
described. The invention also relates to a method to convert
lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars with enzymes that degrade
the lignocellulosic material and novel combinations of enzymes, including
those that provide a synergistic release of sugars from plant biomass.
The invention also relates to methods to use the novel enzymes and
compositions of such enzymes in a variety of other processes, including
washing of clothing, detergent processes, deinking and biobleaching of
paper and pulp, and treatment of waste streams.
