33 PROCESS PROFITABILITY ADVANTAGES CBP ENZYME BOOSTING The fermentation temperature preference range of 45-50C is ideal: it leverages the biochemical temperature optimum for both intracellular and exogenous cellulosic enzymes. Cost benefit: ~30%. Xylo-oligomers (known endoglucanase inhibitors), and cello-oligomers are preferably absorbed and metabolized, thereby minimizing both the exogenous cellulase and hemicellulase doses required. Cost Benefit: ~30% AXE, Bg and Bx are no longer required in solution, which significantly simplify the exogenous enzyme product composition necessary and improves the producer s production rates. Cost Benefit: ~20% An estimated combined 50 to 65% enzyme cost reduction, while providing additional variable and capex cost reduction opportunities.
