Abstract:
A method is disclosed for hydro!yzing an alpha-1,5 giucosyl-fructose linkage in a saccharide (disaccharide or oligosaccharide) such as leucrose. This method comprises contacting the saccharide with an alpha-glucosidase enzyme such as transgiucosidase or glucoamylase under suitable conditions, during which contacting step the enzyme hydrolyzes at least one aipha-1,5 glucosyl-fructose linkage of the saccharide. This method is useful for reducing the amount of leucrose in a filtrate isolated from a glucan synthesis reaction, for example.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention provides for a mechanism to reduce glycerol production and increase nitrogen utilization and ethanol production of recombinant microorganisms. One aspect of this invention relates to strains of S. cerevisiae with reduced glycerol productivity that get a kinetic benefit from higher nitrogen concentration without sacrificing ethanol yield. A second aspect of the invention relates to -metabolic modifications resulting in altered transport and/or intracellular metabolism of nitrogen sources present in com mash.
Abstract:
The present invention provides nucleotide sequences of Macrophomina phaseolina ("M. phaseolina") that encodes proteins/enzymes with cellulolytic activity, including a cellulase activity, a endoglucanase, a cellobiohydrolase, a &bgr;-glucosidase, a a-glucosidase, a xylanase, a mannanse, a &bgr;-xylosidase, a a-xylosidase, a galactosidase, an arabinofuranosidase, a a- fucosidases, a &bgr;-galactanase, an unsaturated &bgr;-glucuronyl hydrolase and/or oligomerase activity. Vectors, expression constructs and host cells comprising and/or consisting of the nucleotide sequences of the enzyme genes are also provided. The invention further provides methods for producing the enzymes and methods for modifying the enzymes in order to improve their desirable characteristics. The enzymes of the invention can be used in a variety of, but not limited to, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food and feed processing, biofuel, energy efficiency and industrial contexts. These enzymes are also useful for complete hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass into simple sugar that can then be fermented to liquid fuels and chemical feedstocks.
