Example 37
To assess the effect of various enzymes on pretreated mixed hardwoods (PHW), an assay was conducted with 2% solids, pH 5.0 and 38° C. Yeast-produced and purified enzymes were assessed in the assay either with or without additional commercial enzymes. The activity of the mix with yeast-produced enzymes evaluated by the release of sugars, predominantly glucose due to the nature of the pretreatment, by HPLC using a BioRad 87H column. The data below shows the results of some of those mixing experiments. FIG. 94 shows that the addition of CBH2, BGL, EG1, EG2 and EG3 improves hydrolysis of the substrate above what the commercial enzyme mix can do with just the addition of CBH2 and BGL. Therefore, yeast-made EG1, EG2 and EG3 provide benefits in hydrolyzing PHW. FIG. 95 shows that further addition of yeast-produced and purified xylanase, xylosidase and AXE improved hydrolysis of the PHW above what was seen with either just the commercial enzyme mix or the commercial mix with CBH2 added. This further suggests the benefits of the accessory enzymes described above.
FIG. 96 shows that the addition of these enzymes in combination continues to show improvement over the addition of just one of the accessory enzymes.
