Abstract
The present invention provides for heterologous expression of polypeptides encoded by wild-type and condon-optimized variants of cbh1 and/or cbh2 from the fungal organisms(),(),(), and() in host cells, such as the yeast. The expression in such host cells of the corresponding genes, and variants and combinations thereof, result in improved specific activity of the expressed cellobiohydrolases. Thus, such genes and expression systems are useful for efficient and cost-effective consolidated bioprocessing systems.
