Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present compositions and methods relate to a beta-mannanase from Bacillus hemicellulosilyticus , polynucleotides encoding the beta-mannanase, and methods of make and/or use thereof. Formulations containing the beta-mannanase are suitable for use in hydrolyzing lignocellulosic biomass substrates, especially those comprising a measurable level of galactoglucomannan (GGM) and/or glucomannan (GM).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A recombinant nucleic acid which comprises a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:3 and a heterologous nucleic acid, wherein the recombinant polypeptide has beta-mannanase activity, and wherein said nucleic acid encoding the recombinant polypeptide is operably linked to the heterologous nucleic acid. 2. The recombinant nucleic acid of claim 1 , wherein the heterologous nucleic acid encodes a signal peptide sequence selected from any one of SEQ ID NOs:13-41. 3. A host cell comprising the recombinant nucleic acid of claim 1 , wherein the host cell is a microorganism. 4. The host cell of claim 3 wherein the heterologous nucleic acid encodes a signal peptide sequence. 5. The host cell of claim 4 wherein the signal peptide sequence is selected from any one of SEQ ID NOs: 13-41. 6. The host cell of claim 3 wherein the host cell is a bacterial cell or a fungal cell. 7. The host cell of claim 3 wherein the host cell is Trichoderma reesei. 8. The recombinant nucleic acid of claim 1 , wherein the recombinant polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. 9. The recombinant nucleic acid of claim 1 , wherein the recombinant polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3. 10. The host cell of claim 3 , wherein the recombinant polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. 11. The host cell of claim 3 , wherein the recombinant polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.
