Abstract:
Purified cellobiohydrolase I (glycosyl hydrolase family 7 (Cel7A) enzymes from demonstrate a high level of specific performance in comparison to other Cel7 family member enzymes when formulated with purified EIcd endoglucanase from and tested on pretreated corn stover. This result is true of the purified native enzyme, as well as recombinantly expressed enzyme, for example, that enzyme expressed in a non-native host. In a specific example, the specific performance of the formulation using purified recombinant Cel7A from expressed in is increased by more than 200% when compared to a formulation using purified Cel7A from.
