Abstract

Thermostable cellulase enzyme systems comprising at least one each of a thermostable endoglucanase, an exo-processive-endoglucanase, and a β-glucosidase carry out the complete, coordinated hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose to monomeric glucose.

Claims (3)

1. A transformed host containing one or more recombinant cellulase enzymes comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein said host is corn.

2. A transformed host comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding one or more recombinant cellulase enzymes comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein at least one of said nucleic acid sequences encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 is the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.

3. A transformed host comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding one or more recombinant cellulase enzymes comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein at least one of said nucleic acid sequences encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 is the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said host is corn.
