A heterologous gene cassette useful for creating Streptomyces species with enhanced capability of growing on a cellulosic polysaccharide substrate, wherein the cassette comprises at least two members of the following categories: a) a GH6 gene, b) an AA10 gene, c) a GH48 gene, d) a GH5 gene and e) either (i) a GH9 gene, (ii) a GH9 gene and a GH12 gene, or (iii) a GH12 gene is disclosed.

The present invention relates to polypeptides having cellulolytic enhancing activity, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding domains, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding domains. 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, and carbohydrate binding domains.

Fungi that are genetically inactivated for the mstC gene (or a homolog thereof) are provided, which can also be genetically modified to increase production of heterologous proteins from a glucoamylase promoter. Methods of using these fungi, for example to degrade a biomass, are also provided.

The present invention relates to recombinant filamentous fungal host cells producing cellulolytic enzyme compositions and methods of producing and using the compositions.

The present invention relates to enzyme compositions and processes of producing and using the compositions for the saccharification of lignocellulosic material.
