The present invention relates to novel polypeptides and enzymes (e.g., thermostable proteins and enzymes) having activities relating to biomass processing and/or degradation (e.g., cell wall deconstruction), as well as polynucleotides, vectors, cells, compositions and tools relating to same, or functional variants thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to secreted enzymes that may be isolated from the fungi,
Scytalidium thermophilum
strain CBS 625.91,
Myriococcum thermophilum
strain CBS 389.93, and
Aureobasidium pullulans
strain ATCC 62921. Uses thereof in various industrial processes such as in biofuels, food preparation, animal feed, pulp and paper, textiles, detergents, waste treatment and others are also disclosed.
