  • Polypeptides having cellobiohydrolase II activity and polynucleotides encoding same
    Publication number: 20060053514
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides having cellobiohydrolase II activity and polynucleotides having a nucleotide sequence which encodes for the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid constructs as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.

    Applicant: Novozymes A/S
    Inventors: Wenping Wu, Lene Lange, Dominique Skovlund, Ye Liu
  • Polypeptides having protease activity and nucleic acids encoding same
    Publication number: 20050010037
    Abstract: The invention relates to isolated proteases homologous to a protease derived from a strain of Thermoascus aurantiacus and DNA encoding the same. A homologous polypeptide is derived from Aspergillus oryzae. The proteases can be used in animal feed. The Thermoascus protease is a metalloprotease with an HEIFH motif. The optimum temperature is around 70° C., the optimum pH is around pH6, and the protease is stable over a broad pH range of pH3 to pH10.

  • Xyloglucanase from Malbranchea
    Patent number: 6500658
    Abstract: An isolated or purified polypeptide having xyloglucanase activity which is obtained from a strain of the genus Malbranchea and has xyloglucanase activity in the pH range 4-11, measured at 50° C.; and/or a molecular mass of 25±10 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE; and/or an isoelectric point (pI) in the range 3-5; and/or an N-terminal sequence Ala-Asp-Phe-Cys-Gly-Gln-Xaa-Asp-Ser-Glu-Gln-Ser-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Val-Tyr-Asn-Asn-Leu is useful in industrial applications such as in laundry detergent compositions and for treatment of textiles.
