A method of producing a fermentation product from starch containing material, the method including converting starch containing material to fermentable sugars, wherein the starch containing material is corn; fermenting the fermentable sugars with a microorganism into fermented mash; subjecting fermentation medium, during the fermentation process to an enzyme composition comprising a xylanase and a pectinase; and separating fermentation product from the fermented mash.

The application relates to an enzyme composition, a process for the preparation thereof and the use of the enzyme composition in enzymatic hydrolysis.

The application relates to an enzyme composition, a process for the preparation thereof and the use of the enzyme composition in enzymatic hydrolysis.

The present invention relates to processes for producing fermentation products from starch-containing material, wherein an alpha-amylase and a thermostable endoglucanase is present and/or added during liquefaction. The invention also relates to compositions suitable for use in processes of the invention.

A method of recovering oil, which includes (a) converting a starch-containing material into dextrins with an alpha-amylase; (b) saccharifying the dextrins using a carbohydrate source generating enzyme to form a sugar; (c) fermenting the sugar in a fermentation medium into a fermentation product using a fermenting organism, wherein the fermentation medium comprises a xylanase and a pectinase; (d) distilling the fermentation product to form a whole stillage; (e) separating the whole stillage into thin stillage and wet cake; and (f) recovering the oil from the thin stillage.

The present invention provides isolated polypeptides having cellulolytic enhancing activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains, cellulose binding domains and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains or cellulose binding domains. The invention also provides nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides, catalytic domains or cellulose binding domains.

Provided herein include methods of making mogroside compounds, e.g., Compound 1, compositions (for example host cells) for making the mogroside compounds, and the mogroside compounds made by the methods disclosed herein, and compositions (for example, cell lysates) and recombinant cells comprising the mogroside compounds (e.g., Compound 1). Also provided herein are novel cucurbitadienol synthases and the use thereof.

The present invention relates to Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 strain having high cellulose activity, and more particularly, to a novel Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 strain having the ability to produce endo--1,4-glucanase, -glucosidase, and cellobiohydrolase and to a culture of the strain. The novel Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 strain according to the present invention can produce highly active cellulases, including endo--1,4-glucanase, -glucosidase, and cellobiohydrolase, and thus can be advantageously used not only for enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass, but also in various industrial fields, including the pulp and paper making industry, the detergent industry, the agricultural product processing industry, the fiber industry, and the livestock industry, in which the degradation of cellulose is required.

The present invention discloses methods for improving desired qualities in Cannabis sativa L. Methods include the step of: applying a composition having at least one biostimulant, as an elicitor, to Cannabis sativa L., wherein the at least one biostimulant is at least one material selected from the group consisting of: an exogenous polysaccharide, a peptidoglycan, a peptide, a lipopolysaccharide, a modified lipid, and an enzyme, wherein the at least one biostimulant is derived from at least one source material selected from the group consisting of: plants, bacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, animals, protozoa, algae, and viruses, and wherein the at least one biostimulant is known to be sensed by plant surface-receptors to elicit a plant defense-response. Alternatively, the at least one biostimulant is at least one material selected from the group consisting of: a Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP), a Microbial-Associated Molecular Pattern (MAMP), and an Herbivore-Associated Molecular Patterns (HAMP).

The application relates to an enzyme composition, a process for the preparation thereof and the use of the enzyme composition in enzymatic hydrolysis.
