Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to increasing the availability of fermentable sugars from plant biomass, such as glucose and xylose. As described herein, α-xylosidases can be employed with cellulases to enhance biomass conversion into free, fermentable sugar residues.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method, comprising: a) providing; i) a plant biomass comprising a hemicellulose material; and ii) an enzyme mixture comprising at least about 5% by weight of isolated Aspni5|43342 α-xylosidase, or an α-xylosidase with at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:1, and at least 50% by weight of a cellulase mixture comprising cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase, β-1,4-glucanase, β-glucosidase, endoxylanase, and β-xylosidase; and b) incubating said biomass w…
