The present invention relates to modified filamentous fungal organisms having improved activity profiles with respect to the conversion of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars from cellulosic materials, including fungal organisms belonging to a genus selected from the group consisting of:
Chrysosporium, Thielavia, Talaromyces, Thermomyces, Thermoascus, Neurospora, Aureobasidium, Filibasidium, Piromyces, Corynascus, Cryplococcus, Acremonium, Tolypocladium, Scytalidium, Schizophyllum, Sporotrichum, Penicillium, Gibberella, Myceliophthora, Mucor, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Humicola, Trichoderma
, and
Talaromyces
, plus anamorphs and teleomorphs thereof. Filamentous fungal organisms having improved activity profiles are obtained by modifying genes encoding enzymes involved in the production of cellobionolactone, cellobionic acid, gluconolactone, gluconic acid, and related products, by a variety of mutagenic methods, resulting in nucleotide substitutions, insertions, and deletions, increasing the level of saccharification in enzyme mixtures obtained from the modified organisms.
本发明涉及改良后的丝状真菌生物,其在将纤维素材料中的复杂碳水化合物转化为简单糖方面具有改进的活性特性,包括属于以下组中选择的真菌生物属:Chrysosporium,Thielavia,Talaromyces,Thermomyces,Thermoascus,Neurospora,Aureobasidium,Filibasidium,Piromyces,Corynascus,Cryplococcus,Acremonium,Tolypocladium,Scytalidium,Schizophyllum,Sporotrichum,Penicillium,Gibberella,Myceliophthora,Mucor,Aspergillus,Fusarium,Humicola,Trichoderma和Talaromyces,以及其无性和有性形态。通过改变编码生产纤维二糖内酯,纤维二糖酸,葡萄糖内酯,葡萄糖酸和相关产物的酶的基因,通过各种突变方法,包括核苷酸替换,插入和删除,从而获得具有改进活性特性的丝状真菌生物,增加从改良生物中获得的酶混合物中的糖化水平。
