Disclosed are recombinant endoxylanases that are expressed and exported in high levels in bacteria, in particular Bacillus subtilis. The recombinant endoxylanases are based on an endoxylanase selected from Trichoderma reesei or Bacillus pumilus modified with a signal peptide from B. subtilis alpha amylase (AmyE), B. subtilis levanase (SacC), or B. subtilis YwmC. Accordingly, also disclosed are plasmids for transforming bacteria to express and export such recombinant endoxylanases and the resulting recombinant bacterial strains. The disclosure also encompasses compositions for simultaneously degrading and assimilate cellobiose and xylan comprising a recombinant bacteria engineered to produce xylose from hydrolyzing the agricultural biomass and a xylose assimilator and methods of producing value-added products, for example succinate, from agricultural biomass using such compositions.

The present invention addresses the problem of finding a novel peptide useful as an active ingredient in an agent for treating or preventing cancer, and to provide the use of the polypeptide as an immune inducer. The immune inducer containing as an active ingredient: (a) a polypeptide consisting of any one of the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 3 to 45; or (b) a polypeptide comprising one to several amino acid deletions, substitutions or additions in the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide (a); is useful as an agent for treating or preventing cancer, etc.

The instant application provides methods to improve the total starch yield and/or gluten yield from corn kernels in a wet milling process, the method comprising admixing corn kernels or a fraction of the corn kernels with an enzyme composition comprising an effective amount of one or more hydrolytic enzymes, wherein at least one of said hydrolytic enzymes is selected from the group consisting of a GH30 polypeptide, a GH5 polypeptide or a combination thereof.

The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having xylanase activity, catalytic domains, carbohydrate binding modules and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains or carbohydrate binding modules. 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, catalytic domains or carbohydrate binding modules.

The present invention provides an improved process of treating crop kernels to provide a starch product of high quality suitable for conversion of starch into mono- and oligosaccharides, ethanol, sweeteners. The present invention also provides polypeptides having GH10 xylanase activity, polypeptides having GH62 arabinofuranosidase activity and the uses thereof.
