Abstract:
1. A method for degrading or converting a cellulosic material, comprising: treating the cellulosic material with an effective amount of one or more cellulolytic proteins in the presence of an effective amount of a polypeptide having beta-glucosidase activity selected from: (a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity with the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under at least high stringency conditions with (i) the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, (ii) the cDNA sequence contained in the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or (iii) the full-length complement of (i) or (ii); and (c) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 95% sequence identity with the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the cDNA sequence thereof.
