Aspergillus containing beta-glucosidase, beta-glucosidases and nucleic acids encoding the same

An isolated polypeptide having beta-glucosidase activity comprising:

• a. an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ NO:
• 3 and 4,
• b. a biologically active sequence variant of any of SEQ NO:
• 3 and 4, wherein said variant has at least 92% sequence identity to said SEQ NO:
• 3 or 4, or
• c. a biologically active fragment of at least 30 consecutive amino acids of any of the amino acid sequences of a) through b.

An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid or its complementary sequence being selected from the group consisting of:

• a. a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:
• 3 and 4,
• b. a polynucleotide sequence encoding a biologicaly active sequence variant of said amino acid sequence, wherein the variant has at least 92% sequence identity to said SEQ ID NO:
• 3 and 4, and
• c. a polynucleotide sequence encoding a biologically active fragment of at least 30 consecutive amino acids of any of the amino acid sequences of a) through b), or
