The present invention relates to processes of recovering oil after liquefaction and/or from thin stillage and/or syrup/evaporated centrate from a fermentation product production process by adding a thermostable protease to the whole stillage, thin stillage and/or syrup.

Described are polypeptides having glucoamylase activity, compositions comprising such polypeptides, and methods of using such polypeptides and compositions.

The invention relates to fusion polypeptides, nucleic acid molecules encoding said fusion polypeptides and genetically modified cells including said nucleic acid molecules. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for preparing target polypeptides using the fusion polypeptides.

The present invention relates to the animal-free production of animal-derived proteins for human consumption by expression of such proteins, e.g. ovalbumin, in fungal cells. The invention relates to fungal cells modified for the production of animal-derived proteins, such as ovalbumin and to methods wherein these cells are used for the production of animal-derived proteins.

The invention is directed to novel variant glucoamylases.

Described are a recombinant host cell, a composition comprising a glucoamylase and methods of saccharifying the starch substrate using the glucoamylase. Moreover, the disclosure also relates to a process of producing fermentation products and a method for increasing starch digestibility in an animal as well as a method of producing a fermented beverage.

Glucoamylase mutant GA3 with improved specific activity and thermal stability, and its gene and application are provided, belonging to the field of gene engineering. The glucoamylase mutant GA3 of the present invention obtained by sequentially mutation at fixed points starting from wild glucoamylase processes both improved thermal stability and catalytic efficiency, and can be applied to the industries of feed, food, medicine and the like.

The present invention relates to processes of recovering oil after liquefaction and/or from thin stillage and/or syrup/evaporated centrate from a fermentation product production process by adding a thermostable protease to the whole stillage, thin stillage and/or syrup.

The present invention is directed to compositions comprising hydrolase-secreting bacteria and fermenting microorganisms and use thereof, such as for fermentative production of ethanol.

The present invention can: efficiently and readily produce glucose from microalgae that accumulate starch in their cells; and obtain ethanol. During a preparation step of the glucose production method, microalgae are prepared on which a saccharifying enzyme acts on starch accumulated inside the microalgae cells, without disrupting the cell walls. In a saccharification step, starch inside the cells is saccharified and glucose is generated, by adding a saccharifying enzyme to the microalgae without a disruption treatment. The ethanol production method has a step in which, after the saccharification step, the glucose undergoes alcoholic fermentation and ethanol is generated.
