Disclosed are compositions and methods for improving the amino acid content of animal feed byproducts from a dry grind ethanol production facility by reducing the amount of residual reducing sugars that can participate in, e.g., the Maillard reaction. The compositions and methods provided herein for improving the amino acid content of animal feed include enzymes capable of oxidizing the residual sugars.

Methods for improving the amino acid content of animal feed products

Provided herein are variants ofsp. phytases that may be used in industrial applications including methods for starch liquefaction, alcohol fermentations and for enhancing phosphate digestion in foods and animal feeds.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to filamentous fungal host cells and particularlyhost cells useful for the production of heterologous granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes having glucoamylase activity (GSHE). Further the invention relates to a method for producing a glucose syrup comprising contacting a granular starch slurry obtained from a granular starch substrate simultaneously with an alpha amylase and a GSHE at a temperature equal to or below the gelatinization temperature of the granular starch to obtain a composition of a glucose syrup.

Expression of granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes in trichoderma and process for producing glucose from granular starch sustrates

The present invention relates to filamentous fungal host cells and particularlyhost cells useful for the production of heterologous granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes having glucoamylase activity.

Expression of granular starch hydrolyzing enzyme in trichoderma

Provided herein are compositions and methods related to the direct conversion of the starch in a ground or fractionated grain into a fermentable sugar feedstock capable of serving as a carbon source for the industrial production of one or more products by a fermenting organism, such as isoprene, isoprenoid precursor molecules, and/or isoprenoids. Such conversions may be performed at temperatures at or below the initial gelatinization temperature of the starch present in the grain and may utilize one or more isolatable endogenous enzymes present in certain unrefined grains.

Direct starch to fermentable sugar as feedstock for the production of isoprene, isoprenoid precursor molecules, and/or isoprenoids

Alpha-amylases from(AmyE), variants thereof, nucleic acids encoding the same, and host cells comprising the nucleic acids are provided. Methods of using AmyE or variants thereof are disclosed, including liquefaction and/or saccharification of starch. Such methods may yield sugars useful for ethanol production or high fructose corn syrup production. In some cases, the amylases can be used at low pH, in the absence of calcium, and/or in the absence of a glucoamylase.

An &#x3b1;-amylase from(AmyE) produces significant amounts of glucose from various carbohydrate substrates, including vegetable starch, maltoheptaose, and maltotriose. Among other things, this advantageous property allows AmyE or variants thereof to be used in a saccharification reaction having a reduced or eliminated requirement for glucoamylase. The reduction or elimination of the glucoamylase requirement significantly improves the efficiency of the production of ethanol or high fructose corn syrup, for example.

Described are compositions and methods relating to starch processing without a phytase pretreatment step and without adjustment of the slurry pH adjustment.

Compositions and methods for grain processing without pH adjustment

Described are variants of alpha (&#x3b1;)-amylases having altered starch hydrolysis profiles. The variants have improved thermostability and increased specific activity, resulting in reduced peak viscosity and altered final viscosity during starch liquefaction. The amylase variants are useful, e.g., in liquefaction and other starch degradation processes.

Variants of a Bacillus strearothermophilus alpha-amylase and uses thereof

Isolated &#x3b1;-glucanases from, andare described, as well as oral care compositions containing the same. The oral care composition may be employed to prevent or reduce dental plaque.

Method of making and using an alpha-glucanase composition to reduce or remove biofilm
