Claim Text:
1. A method for degrading or converting a cellulosic material, comprising: treating the cellulosic material with an enzyme composition comprising a chitin binding protein and a GH61 polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity, wherein the chitin binding protein is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a chitin binding protein having at least 90% sequence identity to the full-length or mature chitin binding protein of SEQ ID NO: 4; and (b) a chitin binding protein encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 90% sequence identity to the full-length or mature chitin binding protein coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; wherein the combination of the chitin binding protein and the GH61 polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity act synergistically compared to the chitin binding protein alone or the GH61 polypeptide alone in stimulating the degrading or converting of the cellulosic material by the enzyme composition according to the following formula with a ratio greater than 1:
