The invention relates to enzymes having xylanase, mannanase and/or glucanase activity, e.g., catalyzing hydrolysis of internal -1,4-xylosidic linkages or endo--1,4-glucanase linkages; and/or degrading a linear polysaccharide beta-1,4-xylan into xylose. Thus, the invention provides methods and processes for breaking down hemicellulose, which is a major component of the cell wall of plants, including methods and processes for hydrolyzing hemicelluloses in any plant or wood or wood product, wood waste, paper pulp, paper product or paper waste or byproduct. In addition, methods of designing new xylanases, mannanases and/or glucanases and methods of use thereof are also provided. The xylanases, mannanases and/or glucanases have increased activity and stability at increased pH and temperature.

The present disclosure provides for a polynucleotide sequences encoding a xylanase. More specifically, the present disclosure provides for polynucleotide sequences with codon mutations encoding a xylanase.

Disclosed is a method for fermenting a microorganism for producing a protein product where seed tanks are omitted with the result that the process is much shorter providing additional flexibility in operating the fermentation plant.

Methods for producing intein-modified proteases are provided. Expression cassettes and vectors for using to genetically engineer hosts are described. Hosts genetically engineered to express one or more intein-modified proteases using expression cassettes and vectors of the invention are also provided. Methods to produce a protease and regulate its activity are described.

The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having beta-xylosidase activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
