Problems solved by technology

[0006] Currently, the microorganisms used to ferment sugars into biofuels such as ethanol cannot utilize complex polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose
As a result, there is a major bottleneck in the conversion of lignocellulosic materials into biofuels

Embodiment 1

[0551] Example 1: Endoxylanase Cb193 (SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 4)

[0552]The endoxylanase Cb193 was identified in Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. This enzyme is the gene product of Cb193, where Cb stands for C. bescii. This endoxylanase randomly cleaves the xylose backbone of hemicellulose to generate short linkages of xylose on the β-1,4-linkages. These xylooligosaccharides may comprise two or more sugar subunits. The Cb193 protein is 671 amino acids long with a molecular weight of 77.7 kDa (His-tag + truncated Cb193 protein). The protein has two putative carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) inserted within the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 catalytic domain (see Figure 2A ).

[0553] Cloning of Cb193

[0554] The gene for Cb193 was PCR amplified from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii genomic DNA using iProof HF DNA polymerase (BIO-RAD). Cb193 was amplified using the following primer pair:

[0555] Cb193 positive

Embodiment 2

[0589] Example 2: Endoxylanase Cb195 (SEQ ID NOs: 7 and 8)

[0590] An endoxylanase Cb195 was identified in Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. This enzyme is the gene product of Cb195, where Cb stands for C. bescii. This endoxylanase randomly cleaves the xylose backbone of hemicellulose to generate shorter chains at the β-1,4-linkages. These xylo-oligosaccharides can range from containing two or more saccharide units. The Cbl95 protein is 351 amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 41.9 kDa (histidine tag + Cbl95 protein) (Figure 2).

[0591] Cloning of Cb195

[0592] The Cb195 gene (BIO-RAD) was amplified from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii genomic DNA by PCR using iProof high-frequency DNA polymerase.

[0593] The PCR mix contains the following:

[0594] PCR reaction

[0595]

[0596] To amplify genes from genomic DNA, the following PCR cycles were used.

[0597] PCR protocol

[0598]

[0599] After the PCR amplification described above, the amplification of the ...

Embodiment 3

[0619] An α-L-arabinofuranosidase was identified in Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. This enzyme is the gene product of Cb1172. α-L-arabinofuranosidase cleaves arabinose groups from the xylose backbone or from branched or debranched chains. The Cb1172 protein is 505 amino acids in length and has a molecular weight of 59.6 kDa (His tag + Cb1172 protein). The protein has a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 51 catalytic domain ( Figure 6D ).

[0620] Clone Cb1172

[0621] Use iProof TM High-Fidelity DNA polymerase (BIO-RAD) amplifies the Cb1172 gene from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii DSM6725T genomic DNA by PCR. The Cb1172 gene was amplified with the following primer set.
