  • Patent number: 11254956
    Abstract: The invention relates to a host cell, preferably a Myceliophthora thermophila cell, which presents a lower expression and/or secretion of non-contributory cellulolytic enzymes, preferably where the non-contributory cellulolytic enzyme is endoglucanase 6 comprising SEQ ID NO: 2, thereby promoting the presence of contributory cellulolytic enzymes in the enzymatic cocktail synthesised by said host cell.

  • Patent number: 10626381
    Abstract: The invention refers to methods and compositions for stabilizing and increasing the activity of enzymatic mixtures comprising GH61 (PMO or polysaccharide monooxigenase) polypeptides used for the degradation of cellulosic material during the saccharification step of biofuel production processes. This improvement is achieved by the addition of a nickel cation to said enzymatic mixtures before and/or during the saccharification step. Thus, the invention provides compositions comprising PMOs, cellulolytic enzymes and a nickel cation, as well as methods for preparing said compositions and methods for producing fermentable sugars and bioproducts, preferably bioethanol, from cellulosic biomass in which said compositions are used.

  • Patent number: 10385324
    Abstract: The present invention relates to variants of cellobiohydrolase, preferably Cbh1, which have greater cellobiohydrolase activity. The invention also relates to a genetic construct, a host cell and to an enzyme composition comprising said variants. The invention further relates to a procedure for producing fermentable sugar and a procedure for producing a bioproduct, such as bioethanol, from cellulose material with the cellobiohydrolase variants, the host cell or the enzyme composition comprising said variants.
