Publication number: 20200370064Abstract: Described herein are plants, plant seeds, and plants cells that are modified to express particular types of cellulose synthase enzymes (but not CesA3, CesA9, or CesA7 enzymes). Such plants, plant seeds and plant cells can be cotton, flax, hemp, jute, sisal, poplar, or eucalyptus plants, plant seeds or plant cells. The modified plants tend to grow taller, have increased cellulose synthesis, have more crystalline cellulose, have wider secondary cell walls, increased biomass, and increased mechanical strength than in a control plant without the expression cassette (e.g., a wild type or parental plant without the expression cassette).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2019Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventor: Shi-You Ding

Patent number: 8283150Abstract: Purified cellobiohydrolase I (glycosyl hydrolase family 7 (Cel7A)) enzymes from Penicillium funiculosum demonstrate a high level of specific performance in comparison to other Cel7 family member enzymes when formulated with purified EIcd endoglucanase from A. cellulolyticus and tested on pretreated corn stover. This result is true of the purified native enzyme, as well as recombinantly expressed enzyme, for example, that enzyme expressed in a non-native Aspergillus host. In a specific example, the specific performance of the formulation using purified recombinant Cel7A from Penicillium funiculosum expressed in A. awamori is increased by more than 200% when compared to a formulation using purified Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2008Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLCInventors: William S. Adney, John O. Baker, Stephen R. Decker, Yat-Chen Chou, Michael E. Himmel, Shi-You Ding

Publication number: 20100136667Abstract: The invention provides a thermal tolerant (thermostable) cellulase, AviIII, that is a member of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family. AviIII was isolated and characterized from Acidothermus cellulolyticus, and, like many cellulases, the disclosed polypeptide and/or its derivatives may be useful for the conversion of biomass into biofuels and chemicals.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2009Publication date: June 3, 2010Applicant: ALLIANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, LLCInventors: Shi-You Ding, William S. Adney, Todd B. Vinzant, Michael E. Himmel
