Abstract:
1. A method of producing a mutant cell, comprising disrupting or deleting a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity in a parent Penicillium cell, which results in the mutant producing less of the polypeptide than the parent Penicillium cell, wherein the polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to amino acids 22 to 332 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide having nucleotides 64 to 1018 of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (c) a fragment of a polypeptide of (a) or (b) that has cellulolytic enhancing activity.
