  • USE OF POLYPEPTIDES HAVING PROTEASE ACTIVITY IN ANIMAL FEED AND DETERGENTS
    Publication number: 20150140165
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of isolated polypeptides having protease activity in animal feed and detergents. It also relates to the use of isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding the proteases in the recombinant production of isolated polypeptides having protease activity and isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding the proteases. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells, including plant and animal cells, comprising the nucleic acid sequences, as well as methods for producing and using the proteases, particularly using the proteases in animal feed and detergents.

  • Biogas From Enzyme-Treated Bagasse
    Publication number: 20140106427
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treatment of a bagasse-derived material which treatment increases the degradability of the lignocellulosic fibres. In particular the invention relates to methane production from enzymatically treated bagasse-derived material, where the enzyme-treatment of the invention is used to increase the methane production in comparison with untreated bagasse.
