MYCELIOPHTHORA THERMOPHILA HOST CELL HAVING IMPROVED CELLULOLYTIC ACTIVITY AND ENZYMATIC COMPOUNDS PRODUCED WITH SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a host cell, preferably a Myceliophthora thermophila cell, which presents a lower expression and/or secretion of non-contributory cellulolytic enzymes, preferably wherein the non-contributory cellulolytic enzyme is endoglucanase 6 comprising SEQ ID NO: 2, thereby promoting the presence of contributory cellulolytic enzymes in the enzymatic cocktail synthesised by said host cell. The invention also relates to the use of said host cells and the enzymatic cocktails synthesised by said host cells for the production of fermentable sugars of biomass, and a method for producing bioproducts, preferably bioethanol, comprising the use of said host cell or the composition according to the invention.
