Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods, uses and animal feeds employing polypeptides having galactanase activity, wherein the galactanases are used for processing soy-based material.
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.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to an isolated polypeptide with galactanase activity, polynucleotides encoding a galactanase, a method for modifying animal feed, in particular animal feed comprising plant material such as soybean, by adding to the animal feed at least one galactanase enzyme, and also to a method for obtaining a DNA sequence encoding a galactanase enzyme or a portion thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for modifying animal feed, in particular animal feed comprising plant material such as soybean, by adding to the animal feed at least one galactanase enzyme, to a method for obtaining a DNA sequence encoding a galactanase enzyme or a portion thereof, and to isolated polynucleotide molecules encoding polypeptides having galactanase activity.
Abstract:
A formulation that can be used to stabilise silage from cereal and other crops, and to enhance its nutritive value and digestibility in a ruminant, is of: enzymes comprising beta -1,4-xylanase and beta -1,3-xylosidase, but substantially free of beta -1,4-glucanase and beta -1,4-cellobiohydrolase; and one or more microorganisms selected for their ability to convert pentosans to lactic acid, without degrading protein, at pH 4-6.5.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having phytase activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The polypeptides are related to a phytase derived from Hafnia alvei, the amino acid sequence of which is shown in the appended sequence listing as SEQ ID NO: 10. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides, in particular within animal feed.
