Patent number: 9695403Abstract: This invention relates to phytases, polynucleotides encoding them, uses of the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention, as well as the production and isolation of such polynucleotides and polypeptides. In particular, the invention provides polypeptides having phytase activity under high temperature conditions, and phytases that retain activity after exposure to high temperatures. The invention further provides phytases which have increased gastric lability. The phytases of the invention can be used in foodstuffs to improve the feeding value of phytate rich ingredients. The phytases of the invention can be formulated as foods or feeds or supplements for either to, e.g., aid in the digestion of phytate.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2010Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Syngenta Participations AGInventors: David P. Weiner, Arne I. Solbak, Jr., Ryan McCann

Publication number: 20140004571Abstract: The present disclosure relates methods and compositions for pretreatment of biomass, for example to form a biomass slurry suitable for downstream processing (e.g., saccharification, fermentation, etc.). The present methods provide several advantages in industrial operations, such as better heat exchange, reduced power and water usage, and the ability to carry out reactions continuously due to the reduced requirement for cleaning reaction vessels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: BP Corporation North America Inc.Inventors: James B.

Publication number: 20090297495Abstract: The invention provides hydrolases, polynucleotides encoding them, and methods of making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. In one aspect, the invention is directed to polypeptides, e.g., enzymes, having a hydrolase activity, e.g., an esterase, acylase, lipase, phospholipase (e.g., phospholipase A, B, C and D activity, patatin activity, lipid acyl hydrolase (LAH) activity) or protease activity, including thermostable and thermotolerant hydrolase activity, and polynucleotides encoding these enzymes, and making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The hydrolase activities of the polypeptides and peptides of the invention include esterase activity, lipase activity (hydrolysis of lipids), acidolysis reactions (to replace an esterified fatty acid with a free fatty acid), transesterification reactions (exchange of fatty acids between triglycerides), ester synthesis, ester interchange reactions, phospholipase activity and protease activity (hydrolysis of peptide bonds).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2006Publication date: December 3, 2009Inventors: Janne S.
