Abstract

The present invention relates to polypeptides having cellobiohydrolase I activity and polynucleotides having a nucleotide sequence which encodes for the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid constructs as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.

Claims (12)

1. An isolated polypeptide having cellobiohydrolase I activity, which has at least 85% identity with the sequence of amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which has at least 90% identity with amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

3. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which has at least 95% identity with amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

4. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which has at least 97% identity with amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

5. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which has at least 98% identity with amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

6. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which has at least 99% identity with amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

7. The polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising the sequence of amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

8. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which is a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 1 to 450 of SEQ ID NO:42.

9. A detergent composition comprising a surfactant and the polypeptide of claim 1 .

10. A method for producing ethanol from biomass, comprising

(a) contacting the biomass with the polypeptide of claim 1 , an endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, and a beta-D-glucosidase to produce sugar; and

(b) fermenting the sugar to produce ethanol.
