  • Glucoamylase variants with altered properties
    Patent number: 11130946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to variants of a parent glucoamylase having altered properties (e.g., improved thermostability and/or specific activity). In particular, the present invention provides compositions comprising the variant glucoamylases, including starch hydrolyzing compositions, animal feed compositions and cleaning compositions. The invention also relates to DNA constructs encoding the variants and methods of producing the glucoamylase variants in host cells.

  • ?-amylase is a maltogenic enzyme
    Patent number: 8916369
    Abstract: A maltogenic a-amylase from Trichoderma reesei (TrAA) and variants thereof are useful in the production of high-maltose syrups from liquefied starch. Particularly high maltose concentrations are achieved when TrAA is used in the presence of a pullulanase. Expression hosts and encoding nucleic acids useful for producing TrAA and its variants also are provided.

  • ?-amylase enhances saccharification of corn starch
    Patent number: 8765439
    Abstract: A maltogenic ?-amylase from Trichoderma reesei (TrAA) and variants thereof in the presence of a glucoamylase are useful in the production of high-glucose syrups from liquefied starch, where the high-glucose syrups produced thereby contain at least about 97% glucose. In this process, TrAA advantageously suppresses the reversion of glucose to malto-oligosaccharides. Expression hosts and encoding nucleic acids useful for producing TrAA and its variants also are provided.

  • Trichoderma genes
    Patent number: 8202704
    Abstract: Described herein are novel gene sequences isolated from Trichoderma reesei. Two genes encoding proteins comprising a cellulose binding domain, one encoding an arabionfuranosidase and one encoding an acetylxylanesterase are described. The sequences, CIP1 and CIP2, contain a cellulose binding domain. These proteins are especially useful in the textile and detergent industry and in pulp and paper industry.
