Abstract
The present application provides genetically modified fungal organisms that produce enzyme mixtures exhibiting enhanced hydrolysis of cellulosic material to glucose, enzyme mixtures produced by the genetically modified fungal organisms, and processes for producing glucose from cellulose using such enzyme mixtures.
Claims5
A Myceliophthora thermophile fungal cell that has been genetically modified to reduce the amount of endogenous cellobiose oxidizing enzyme activity that is produced by the fungal cell, wherein the fungal cell has been genetically modified by deleting endogenous cellobiose dehydrogenase enzymes having at least about 90% or at least about 95% sequence identity to the sequences of SEQ ID NOS:6 and 8.
