Abstract:
1. A process for degrading a cellulosic material, comprising treating the cellulosic material with a composition comprising a polypeptide having xylanase activity, a cellobiohydrolase I, a cellobiohydrolase II, an endoqlucanase, a beta-qlucosidase, and a GH61 polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide having xylanase activity is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids 18-349 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under high stringency conditions with (i) the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, (ii) the cDNA sequence thereof, or (iii) the full-length complement of (i) or (ii), wherein high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 micrograms/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide, and washing three times each for 15 minutes in 2×SSC, 0.2% SDS at 65° C.; and (c) a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 18-349 of SEQ ID NO: 2 that has xylanase activity.
