Abstract:
1. A method of producing at least one fermentation end product from at least one cellulosic substrate, comprising: a) providing at least one cellulosic substrate and at least one enzyme composition comprising at least one glycoside hydrolase 61 (GH61) variant protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, having GH61 activity; b) contacting the cellulosic substrate with the enzyme composition under conditions whereby fermentable sugars are produced from the cellulosic substrate in a saccharification reaction; and c) contacting the fermentable sugars with a microorganism capable of fermenting said fermentable sugars under fermentation conditions such that at least one fermentation end product is produced.
