The structure of the T. reesei xln1 and xln2 genes and the primaru structure of proteins are described. Enzyme preparations enriched in hemicellulase enzymes are described. Such enzyme preparations may also be partially or completely deficient in cellulose degrading activity. Such preparations may be utilized in an crude, unpurified form and are especially useful in the production of pulp and paper.

Enzyme preparations and methods for their production

Functional derivatives of endoglucanase I (EGI), and the cloning and recombinant expression thereof, are described.

Yeast strains producing cellulolytic enzymes and methods and means for

The invention is directed to amino acid and DNA sequences of a unique glucoamylase P that has a high debranching activity, a Trichoderma host cell, transformed with such sequences, the expression of such recombinant glucoamylase P, and the industrial uses for the recombinant enzyme and hosts transformed therewith.

Recombinant production of glucoamylase P in trichoderma

Described are methods and means for the construction of strains of yeast capable of producing cellulolytic enzymes. This is achieved by the transfer of chromosomal genes or cDNA copies of mRNAs coding for cellulolytic enzymes isolated from the fungus Trichoderma reesei to yeast cells using recombinant DNA vectors capable of replicating in yeast. The correct expression of these cellulolytic genes in yeast leads to the production of cellulolytic enzymes which are secreted from the cell. This allows the yeast to hydrolyze 3-1,4-glucan substrates such as cellulose.

Method of making endoglucanase I

Enzyme preparations enriched in hemicellulase-, pectin-, and/or lignin-degrading enzymes are described which are also partially or completely deficient in cellulase degrading activity. Such preparations may be utilized in an crude, unpurified form and are especially useful in the production of pulp and paper.
