Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions comprising: a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and a heterocyclic compound. The present invention also relates to methods of using the compositions.
Claims25
A composition comprising:
- (a) a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and (b) a heterocyclic compound, wherein the combination of the polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and the heterocyclic compound enhances hydrolysis of a cellulosic material by a cellulolytic enzyme.
A method for degrading or converting a cellulosic material, comprising:
- treating the cellulosic material with an enzyme composition in the presence of a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and a heterocyclic compound, wherein the combination of the polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and the heterocyclic compound enhances hydrolysis of the cellulosic material by the enzyme composition.
A method for producing a fermentation product, comprising:
- (a) saccharifying a cellulosic material with an enzyme composition in the presence of a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and a heterocyclic compound, wherein the combination of the polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and the heterocyclic compound enhances hydrolysis of the cellulosic material by the enzyme composition;
- (b) fermenting the saccharified cellulosic material with one or more fermenting microorganisms to produce the fermentation product;
- and
- (c) recovering the fermentation product from the fermentation.
1 more element
A method of fermenting a cellulosic material, comprising:
- fermenting the cellulosic material with one or more fermenting microorganisms, wherein the cellulosic material is saccharified with an enzyme composition in the presence of a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and a heterocyclic compound, wherein the combination of the polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity and the heterocyclic compound enhances hydrolysis of the cellulosic material by the enzyme composition.
