Abstract:
The present invention relates to polypeptides having glucoamylase activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having glucoamylase activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process of process of producing a fermentation product, comprising: liquefying a starch-containing material to dextrins with an alpha-amylase in the presence of an asparaginase and/or an amino acid oxidase; saccharifying the dextrins to a sugar with a glucoamylase; and fermenting the sugar using a fermenting organism.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of degrading or converting biomass material enriched with hemicellulosic material into fermentable sugars.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for preventing, removing, reducing, or disrupting biofilm present on a surface, comprising contacting the surface with an alpha-amylase derived from a bacterium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having glucoamylase activity, catalytic domains, carbohydrate binding domains and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains or carbohydrate binding domains. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides, catalytic domains or carbohydrate binding domains.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for tenderizing meat comprising contacting meat with a tenderizing-effective amount of a thermolabile protease having limited substrate specificity, wherein the limited substrate specificity is the digestion of only one of the two major protein components of meat.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of dyeing a material which involve contacting the material with a dyeing system which comprises: (a) a mixture of (i) an aromatic diamine and (ii) one or more of a naphthol and an aminonaphthalene and (b) an oxidation system comprising (i) a hydrogen peroxide source and an enzyme exhibiting peroxidase activity or (ii) an enzyme exibiting oxidase activity on one or more of the compounds of mixture (a). The material may be a fabric, yarn, fiber, garment or film made of fur, hide, leather, silk or wool, or made of cationic polysaccharide, cotton, diacetate, flax, linen, lyocel, polyacrylic, synthetic polyamide, polyester, ramie, rayon, triacetate, or viscose.
Abstract:
