Sugar yields in small-scale hydrolysis experiments of pretreated wheat straw (consistency 25%) using various protein loadings by enzyme mixtures containing CBH I with (CBM+) or without (CBM-), EG II, XYL and BG of Thermoascus aurantiacus. The ratio of enzymes (protein-based) was CBH I:EG II:XYL 6:1:1. BG was dosed as nkat/g dw following the ratios of other proteins. ^aAddition of PEG, 1% of substrate DM. Hydrolysis 72 hours, temperature 50°C. Hydrolysis yields are expressed as the percentage of total carbohydrates, measured as reducing sugars. Standard deviations are in parentheses. BG, β-glucosidase; CBH, cellobiohydrolase; CBM, carbohydrate-binding module; DM, dry matter; EG, endoglucanase; PEG, polyethylene glycol; XYL, xylanase.
