Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides fungal proteases and improved fungal strains that are deficient in protease production.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated, genetically modified Myceliophthora deficient in at least one protease native to said Myceliophthora , wherein said protease is capable of degrading Myceliophthora cellobiohydrolase enzymes, and comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 98% identity with the polypeptide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:12. 2. The Myceliophthora of claim 1 , wherein said Myceliophthora is Myceliophthora thermophila. 3. The Myceliophthora of claim 1 , wherein said Myceliophthora produces at least one enzyme. 4. The Myceliophthora of claim 3 , wherein said at least one enzyme comprises at least one cellulase. 5. The Myceliophthora of claim 4 , wherein said cellulase is beta-glucosidase. 6. The Myceliophthora of claim 5 , wherein said cellulase is a recombinant beta-glucosidase. 7. The Myceliophthora of claim 4 , wherein said Myceliophthora further produces at least one non-cellulase enzyme. 8. The Myceliophthora of claim 7 , wherein said at least one non-cellulase enzyme comprises at least one lipase, amylase, glucoamylase, and/or protease. 9. A composition comprising the Myceliophthora of claim 1 .
