Abstract: The invention relates to temperature-stable polypeptides with ?-pyranosidase activity. The polypeptide substrates include ?-glucopyranosides and ?-xylopyranosides. The polypeptides can be expressed alone or as fusion proteins for example in yeast or bacteria and subsequently purified. The polypeptides according to the invention can be used alone or in a mixture with other enzymes for the degradation of plant raw materials, among others for the enzymatic degradation of biomass containing lignocellulose, in particular hemicellulose and the hemicellulose component xylan. The enzymes are suitable for use in textile processing, as an additive of detergents, or in the food or feed industry.

Abstract: The inventors have identified polypeptides having lipase activity in anaerobic thermophilic bacteria. Accordingly, the invention provides a process for hydrolyzing an ester bond in a substrate, which comprises treating the substrate with a particular lipase (a polypeptide having lipase activity). The invention also provides a lipase for use in the process and a polynucleotide encoding the lipase.
