Abstract

The present invention discloses novel polypeptides and enzyme preparations containing them, which improve the efficiency of cellulose and lignocellulose degradation even at elevated temperatures. The polypeptides can be produced using conventional recombinant DNA technologies. The related polynucleotides, vectors and host cells are also disclosed. The polypeptides and the enzyme preparations containing them are particularly useful in improving the efficiency of cellulose and lignocellulose degradation, in improving the quality of animal feed, in machine dishwashing applications, in detergent compositions, in pulp and paper, textile, food, baking or beverage industry.
