  • Beta-glucosidase, enzyme composition including same, and method for manufacturing sugar solution using same
    Patent number: 11162087
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to separate and provide a ?-glucosidase gene having the effect of efficiently promoting saccharification in hydrolysis of cellulose-containing biomass from a hardly culturable symbiotic protist community of Coptotermes formosanus, and the present invention specifically relates to ?-glucosidase derived from a protist of the genus Pseudotrichonympha consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2021
    Assignees: RIKEN, TORAY INDUSTRIES, INC.
    Inventors: Masato Otagiri, Shigeharu Moriya, Masahiro Yuki, Moriya Ohkuma, Haruka Saito, Shingo Hiramatsu, Chiaki Yamada, Katsushige Yamada

  • CELLULASE ACTIVATOR AND METHOD FOR SACCHARIFYING A LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS BY USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20180291067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to developing and providing a technique for saccharifying a plant biomass, particularly a lignocellulosic biomass efficiently in fewer steps and at low cost while suppressing environmental load, in order to efficiently and effectively use the energy of the plant biomass. Provided are a cellulase activator containing a lignocellulose degradation cofactor consisting of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 as an active ingredient and a method for saccharifying a lignocellulosic biomass using the cellulase activator.
