Abstract:
1. A recombinant host cell suitable for degrading an oligosaccharide comprising: a first heterologous polynucleotide segment encoding a first endoglucanase having a first degrading activity, wherein said segment is under the transcriptional control of a surrogate promoter; and a second heterologous polynucleotide segment encoding a second endoglucanase having a second degrading activity, wherein said segment is under the transcriptional control of a surrogate promoter, and a polynuclcotide segment expressing an additional enzyme, wherein said first endoglucanase and said second endoglucanase are expressed so that said first and said second degrading activities are present in a ratio such that the degrading of said oligosaccharide by said first and second endoglucanases is synergized and wherein said first endoglucanase is encoded by celZ and said sccond endoglucanase is encodcd by celY, and wherein celZ and celY comprise a polynuelcotide segment isolated from
