FIELD
[0003] This disclosure relates to transgenic plants expressing
glucanases with improved thermal stability, nucleic acids encoding
the same, as well as methods of processing transgenic plants and
tissues, and producing and utilizing animal feed. This disclosure
also relates to feed additives and grain and fiber processing
additives that include glucanases.
BACKGROUND
[0004] The abundance of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) in the
diets of monogastric and ruminant animals can adversely affect the
nutritional value of feed, and also present an opportunity to
improve nutritional content if they can be degraded in the diet or
converted into beneficial nutritional components. NSPs are among
the primary structural components of plant cell wall (cellulose,
hemicellulose, xyloglucans, arabionxylans, galactans,
arabinogalactans, etc.) and can also serve as carbohydrate storage
reserves in some plants. Additionally, pectins and gums are
considered non-cell wall NSP. Because of their various structural
and biological roles, NSPs often bind or encase the starch,
proteins, fats and other nutrients that are present in plant-based
feed ingredients (such as cereals, legumes, silage etc.) and other
ingredients, inhibiting the animal's ability to digest nutrients
efficiently. Increased levels of NSPs in the diet may increase
viscosity of intestinal contents, which can interfere with
digestive enzymes and reduce the digestibility of nutrients,
thereby increasing feed conversion (mass of feed divided by the
mass of meat produced) and reducing body weight gain (Iji, P. A.
1999. The impacts of cereal non-starch polysaccharides on
intestinal development and function in the broiler chickens. Worlds
Poult. Sci. J. 55:375-387, which is incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set forth). For example, feeding increasing
levels of guar meal germ (0, 5, or 7.5%) or guar meal hulls (0,
2.5, or 5%) to broilers resulted in increasing digesta viscosity
(Lee, J. T., C. A. Bailey, and A. L. Cartwright. 2003.
.beta.-Mannanase ameliorates viscosity-associated depression of
growth in broiler chickens fed guar germ and hull fractions. Poult.
Sci. 82:1925-1931, which is incorporated herein by reference as if
fully set forth). In addition to increasing the viscosity, body
weight gain and feed conversion was also worse with increasing guar
meal hull, demonstrating the negative effects of high viscosity on
animal performance.
[0005] NSPs have also been known to inadvertently trigger immune
responses in the gut, which may further detract from efficiency of
feed utilization and have implications for animal health.
[0006] In addition to the cereal components, diets now also
routinely contain DDGS (dried distillers grains and solubles) that
is also not easily digested. Multiple studies have shown that
enzyme supplementation can increase diet metabolizable energy (ME),
and, or, decrease the viscosity of diets containing high levels of
wheat, barley, DDGSs, or other fibrous components. The addition of
carbohydrases to corn-soybean meal-based broiler diets, when
formulated to have a 3% reduction in dietary ME, has been
accomplished without compromising the feed conversions of broilers
reared under either hot or cool seasons. It has been determined
that the hydrolyzed .beta.-d-glucan is responsible for improved
growth.

variant may have at least 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%,
80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%
activity, or an integer between any of the two values herein, in
comparison to the unchanged glucanase.
[0059] In an embodiment, the one or more proteins having less than
100% identity to its corresponding amino acid sequence of SEQ ID
NOS: 4-6 is a variant of the referenced protein or amino acid. In
an embodiment, an isolated protein, polypeptide, oligopeptide, or
peptide having a sequence with at least 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92,
93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% identity to a protein having
the sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS: 4-6 may be a less than full
length protein having the sequence with at least 70, 75, 80, 85,
90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% identity any one of
SEQ ID NO: 4-6 along 6, 10 to 50, 10 to 100, 10 to 150, 10 to 300,
10 to 400, 10 to 500, 10 to 600, 10 to 700, 10 to 800, 10 to 900,
or 10 to all amino acids of a protein. This list of sequence
lengths encompasses every full length protein in SEQ ID NOS: 4-6
and every smaller length within the list, even for proteins that do
not include over 400 amino acids. For example, the lengths of 6, 10
to 50, 10 to 100, 10 to 150, 10 to 300, 10 to 400, and 10 to all
amino acids would apply to a sequence with 322 amino acids. A range
of amino acid sequence lengths recited herein includes every length
of amino acid sequence within the range, endpoints inclusive. The
recited length of amino acids may start at any single position
within a reference sequence where enough amino acids follow the
single position to accommodate the recited length. The range of
sequence lengths can be extended by increments of 10 to 100N amino
acids, where N=an integer of ten or greater, for sequences of 1000
amino acids or larger. The fragment of the glucanase may be a
subsequence of the polypeptides herein that retain at least 40%
activity of the glucanase. The fragment may have 316, 317, or 322
amino acids. The fragments may include 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150,
200, or 300 contiguous amino acids. Embodiments also include
nucleic acids encoding said amino acid sequences, and antibodies
recognizing epitopes on said amino acid sequences.
[0060] A less than full length amino acid sequence may be selected
from any portion of one of the sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 4-6
corresponding to the recited length of amino acids. A less than
full length amino acid sequence may be selected from a portion of
any one of SEQ ID NOS: 4-6 having a catalytic domain. The fragment
may include a catalytic domain of a glucanase. For example, the
catalytic domain of the glucanase of SEQ ID NO: 4 [AGR2314]
includes the following sequence:

[0061] In the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 21, catalytic residues in
active site are shown by enlarged characters in bold. Other active
site residues that interact with the substrate are italicized, bold
and underlined.
[0062] For example, positions 136 and 253 in SEQ ID NO: 21 are
catalytic residues in the active site, and a less than full length
amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 21 may include
residues 134 and 135 at any two respective, consecutive positions
within the recited length. A less than full length amino acid
sequence may be selected from a portion of any one of SEQ ID NO: 21
may have other active site residues that interact with the
substrate. For example, positions 20, 35, 36, 135, 198, 205, 210
and 286 of SEQ ID NO: 21 are the active site residues that interact
with the substrate, and a less than full length amino acid sequence
selected from SEQ ID NO: 21 may include residues 20, 35, 36, 135,
198, 205, 210 and 286 at any respective, consecutive positions
within the recited length.
[0063] A less than full length amino acid sequence may be selected
from a portion of any one of SEQ ID NO: 21 may include amino acids
136-253. A less than full length amino acid sequence may possess
the glucanase activity. A less than full length amino acid sequence
may be capable of degrading polysaccharides. A less than full
length amino acid sequence may contain those amino acids would
contain the active site residues.
[0064] A catalytic domain may be a conserved domain. A "conserved
domain" herein refers to a region in a heterologous polynucleotide
or polypeptide sequences where there is a relatively high degree of
sequence identity between the distinct sequences. With respect to
polynucleotides encoding a conserved domain is preferably at least
10 base pairs (bp) in length.
[0065] A conserved domain of any one of polypeptides described
herein refers to a domain within a glucanase that exhibits a higher
degree of sequence identity High degree of sequence identity may be
at least 50% identity, at least 55% identity, at least 60%
identity, at least 65%, at least 70% identity, at least 75%
identity, at least 80% identity, at least 85% identity, at least
90% identity, at least 91% identity, at least 92% identity, at
least 93% identity, at least 94% identity, at least 95% identity,
at least 96% identity, at least 97% identity, at least 98%
identity, at least 99% identity or at least 100% identity to
consecutive amino acid residues of a polypeptide described herein.
Conserved domains may be identified as domains of identity to a
specific consensus sequence. Conserved domains may be identified by
using alignment methods. Conserved domain may be identified with
multiple sequence alignments of related proteins. These alignments
reveal sequence regions containing the same, or similar, patterns
of amino acids. Multiple sequence alignments, three-dimensional
structure and three-dimensional structure superposition of
conserved domains can be used to infer sequence, structure, and
functional relationships. Since the presence of a particular
conserved domain within a polypeptide is highly correlated with an
evolutionarily conserved function, a conserved domain database may
be used to identify the amino acids in a protein sequence that are
putatively involved in functions such as degrading polysaccharides,
as mapped from conserved domain annotations to the query sequence.
For example, the presence in a protein of a sequence of SEQ ID NO:
21 that is structurally and phylogenetically similar to one or more
domains in the polypeptides of the accompanying Sequence Listing is
a strong indicator of a related function in plants. Sequences
herein referred to as functionally-related and/or closely-related
to the sequences or domains of polypeptides having sequences of SEQ
ID NOS: 4-6 may have conserved domains that share at least at least
ten amino acids in length and at least 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%,
55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%,
68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%,
81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%,
94%, 95% or 96%, 97%, 98%, or at least 99%, or about 100% amino
acid identity to the sequences of AGR2314, AGR2414 and AGR2514, and
have similar functions that the polypeptides of the instant
description.
[0066] In an example, sequences of AGR2314, AGR2414, and AGR2514
may be aligned as shown below.
[0067] AGR2414 sequence is a sequence of Thermotoga maritima Cel5A
(3AMC in Protein Data Bank and in PubMed protein sequence
database). Residues that interact with the substrate are underlined
and are shown in enlarged bold characters: N20, H95, H96, N135,
E136 (catalytic residue), Y198, H205, W210, E253 (catalytic
residue), W286. (T. Wu et al. (2011), Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1814,
1.832-1840, which is incorporated herein by reference as if fully
set forth). The numbering of these residues in AGR2514 is one
higher because of the presence of one additional residue at the
N-terminus in this sequence.
[0068] In an example, the sequences of AGR2314 and AGR2414 have 305
residues conserved out of 317 residues and have 96% identity.

meet these criteria of percentage identity, and that have
comparable biological and regulatory activity to the present
polypeptide sequences, thus being glucanases, described herein.
Sequences having lesser degrees of identity, but comparable
biological activity, are considered to be equivalents.
[0072] The functionality of a glucanase, variants, or fragments
thereof, may be determined using any methods. The functionality of
a glucanase may be measured by any one of the assays described in
Example 3.
[0073] Any one or more glucanases herein may be expressed in a
plant upon introduction into the plant genome of any one more of
synthetic nucleic acids described herein. The methods of
introduction of synthetic nucleic acids into the plants are known
in the art. The method may be transformation of the plant with a
vector that includes synthetic nucleic acids.

that encode glucanase and that are capable of degrading a
polysaccharide.
[0075] In an embodiment, a vector is provided. The vector may
include any one of the synthetic polynucleotides or nucleic acids
described herein.
[0076] In an embodiment, synthetic nucleic acids are provided
having a sequence as set forth in any one of the nucleic acids
listed herein or the complement thereof. In an embodiment, isolated
nucleic acids having a sequence that hybridizes to a nucleic acid
having the sequence of any nucleic acid listed herein or the
complement thereof are provided. In an embodiment, the
hybridization conditions are low stringency conditions. In an
embodiment, the hybridization conditions are moderate stringency
conditions. In an embodiment, the hybridization conditions are high
stringency conditions. The hybridization may be along the length of

methods for optimization of hybridization protocols are described
in the following publications: Molecular Cloning, T. Maniatis, E.
F. Fritsch, and J. Sambrook, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1982;
and, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, F. M. Ausubel, R.
Brent, R. E. Kingston, D. D. Moore, J. G. Seidman, J. A. Smith, K.
Struhl, Volume 1, John Wiley & Sons, 2000 (standard protocol)
and Amersham Gene Images AlkPhos Direct Labeling and Detection
System (GE Healthcare UK, Ltd), which are incorporated by reference
in their entirety as if fully set forth.
[0077] In an AlkPhos Direct Labeling and Detection System, moderate
conditions may be as follows: membranes loaded with DNA samples are
prehybridized for at least 15 minutes at 55.degree. C. in the
hybridization buffer (12% (w/v) urea, 0.5M NaCl, 4% (w/v) blocking
reagent). The labeled probe is added to the same solution and
hybridization is carried overnight at 55.degree. C. The membranes
are washed for 10 minutes at 55.degree. C. in the primary wash
solution (2M urea, 0.1% (W/v) SDS, 50 mM of 0.5M Na phosphate pH
7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM of 1.0 M Mg Cl.sub.2 and 0.2% (w/v) of
blocking reagent). The washing procedure is repeated. The membranes
are placed in a clean container and washed for 5 minutes in a
secondary buffer (1M Tris base, and 2M NaCl). The washing in the
secondary solution is performed two more time. Chemoluminescence
was detected using CDP-STAR.RTM. substrate for alkaline
phosphatase. Low stringency refers to hybridization conditions at
low temperatures, for example, between 37.degree. C. and 60.degree.
C. High stringency refers to hybridization conditions at high
temperatures, for example, over 68.degree. C.
[0078] In the standard protocol, moderate conditions may be as
follows: filters loaded with DNA samples are pretreated for 2-4
hours at 68.degree. C. in a solution containing 6.times.citrate
buffered saline (SSC; Amresco, Inc., Solon, Ohio), 0.5% sodium
dodecyl sulfate (SDS; Amresco, Inc., Solon, Ohio),
5.times.Denhardt's solution (Amresco, Inc., Solon, Ohio), and
denatured salmon sperm (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Inc.
Carlsbad, Calif.). Hybridization is carried in the same solution
with the following modifications: 0.01 M EDTA (Amresco, Inc.,
Solon, Ohio), 100 .mu.g/ml salmon sperm DNA, and
5-20.times.10.sup.6 cpm .sup.32P-labeled or fluorescently labeled
probes. Filters are incubated in hybridization mixture for 16-20
hours and then washed for 15 minutes in a solution containing
2.times.SSC and 0.1% SDS. The wash solution is replaced for a
second wash with a solution containing 0.1.times.SSC and 0.5% SDS
and incubated an additional 2 hours at 20.degree. C. to 29.degree.
C. below Tm (melting temperature in .degree. C.). Tm=81.5+16.61
Log.sub.10[Na.sup.+]/(1.0+0.7[Na.sup.+]))+0.41(%[G+C])-(500/n)-P-F.
[Na+]=Molar concentration of sodium ions. %[G+C]=percent of G+C
bases in DNA sequence. N=length of DNA sequence in bases. P=a
temperature correction for % mismatched base pairs (1.degree. C.
per 1% mismatch). F=correction for formamide concentration
(=0.63.degree. C. per 1% formamide). Filters are exposed for
development in an imager or by autoradiography. Low stringency
conditions refers to hybridization conditions at low temperatures,
for example, between 37.degree. C. and 60.degree. C., and the
second wash with higher [Na.sup.+] (up to 0.825M) and at a
temperature 40.degree. C. to 48.degree. C. below Tm. High
stringency refers to hybridization conditions at high temperatures,
for example, over 68.degree. C., and the second wash with
[Na+]=0.0165 to 0.0330M at a temperature 5.degree. C. to 10.degree.
C. below Tm. In an embodiment, synthetic nucleic acids having a
sequence that has at least 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96,
97, 98, 99 or 100% identity along its length to a contiguous
portion of a nucleic acid having any one of the sequences set forth
herein or the complements thereof are provided. The contiguous
portion may be the entire length of a sequence set forth herein or
the complement thereof.
[0079] In an embodiment a synthetic nucleic acid may encode the
fragment of a glucanase that have 316, 317, or 322 amino acids. The
synthetic nucleic acids may encode the fragments that include 20,
30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, or 300 contiguous amino acids and retain
at least 40% activity of the glucanase. The functionality of a
glucanase, variants, or fragments thereof, may be determined using
any methods. The functionality of a glucanase may be measured by
any one of the assays described in Example 3.
[0080] Determining percent identity of two amino acid sequences or
two nucleic acid sequences may include aligning and comparing the
amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding positions in
the two sequences. If all positions in two sequences are occupied
by identical amino acid residues or nucleotides then the sequences
are said to be 100% identical. Percent identity can be measured by
the Smith Waterman algorithm (Smith T F, Waterman M S 1981
"Identification of Common Molecular Subsequences," Journal of
Molecular Biology 147: 195-197, which is incorporated by reference
in its entirety as if fully set forth).

or oligonucleotides are provided having a portion of the sequence
as set forth in any one of the nucleic acids listed herein or the
complement thereof. These isolated nucleic acids, polynucleotides,

100%, 95 to 100%, 96 to 100%, 97 to 100%, 98 to 100%, 99 to 100%,
or 100% complementary to a nucleic acid with the same length as the
probe or primer and having a sequence chosen from a length of
nucleotides corresponding to the probe or primer length within a
portion of a sequence as set forth in any one of the nucleic acids
listed herein. In an embodiment, a hybridization probe or primer
hybridizes along its length to a corresponding length of a nucleic
acid having the sequence as set forth in any one of the nucleic
acids listed herein. In an embodiment, the hybridization conditions
are low stringency. In an embodiment, the hybridization conditions
are moderate stringency. In an embodiment, the hybridization

in the transgenic plant may have the improved activity compared to
the glucanase having an identical amino acid sequence but expressed
in a bacterial cell. The glucanase may have improved thermal
stability compared to the activity of the glucanase expressed in
the bacterial cell.
[0083] The one or more glucanase may be produced in any transgenic
plant. The transgenic plant may be but is not limited to wheat,
maize, soybean, barley, and sorghum.
[0084] In an embodiment, a method of making a transgenic plant that
includes a glucanase is provided. The method may include contacting
a plant cell with any one of the synthetic nucleic acids herein.
The synthetic nucleic acids may be part of any one of the vectors
described herein. The vector may include a synthetic nucleic acid
encoding a glucanase. The glucanase may comprise, consist
essentially of, or consist of an amino acid sequence with at least
70, 72, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100%
identity to a reference sequence selected from the group consisting
of: SEQ ID NO: 4 [AGR2314], SEQ ID NO: 5 [AGR2414] and SEQ ID NO: 6
[AGR2514]. The method may also include regenerating a transgenic
plant from the transgenic plant cell. The method may include
selecting the transgenic plant expressing a glucanase.
[0085] The transgenic plant herein is also referred to as an
"event." An event is characterized by presence of the transgene
comprising a synthetic nucleic acid encoding a glucanase. The term
"event" also refers to the genomic region of the transformed parent
comprising the inserted synthetic nucleic acid sequence and the
parent genomic sequences flanking the insertion. The term "event"
also refers to progeny produced by crossing of the transgenic plant
and a non-transgenic plant of the same genetic background. The term
"line" also refers to progeny produced by crossing of the
transgenic plant and a non-transgenic plant with any genetic
background. After repeated crosses, the transgene and the flanking
sequences of the originally transformed parent may be present in a
progeny plant in the same location in the genome or on the same
chromosome as in the transformed parent.
[0086] The transgenic plant may be homozygous for the transgene
comprising a synthetic nucleic acid encoding a glucanase.
[0087] The transgenic plant may be hemizygous for the transgene
comprising a synthetic nucleic acid encoding a glucanase. To
produce homozygous plants expressing a glucanase, a hemizygous
transgenic plant may be self-crossed. Progeny may be obtained from
such crosses. The progeny may include homozygous, hemizygous and
wild type plants. A hemizygous plant may be phenotypically
indistinguishable from the wild type plants. The method may include
analyzing the progeny for the presence of the transgene and
selecting a progeny plant that includes the transgene. A method of
identifying the homozygous event by PCR is described herein in
Example 8.
[0088] In an embodiment, the method may further include crossing a
hemizygous transgenic plant to another transgenic plant hemizygous
for the same transgene. The method may include selecting a first
progeny plant that is homozygous for the transgene. The method may
further include crossing the transgenic plant to a wild type plant
of the same, or different, genetic background. Progeny may be
obtained from such crosses. The progeny may include hemizygous and
wild type plants. The method may include selecting a first progeny
plant that is hemizygous for the transgene. The method may further
include selfing the first hemizygous progeny plant and selecting a
second progeny plant that is homozygous for the transgene
comprising a synthetic nucleic acid sequence encoding a
glucanase.
[0089] The glucanase may have activity and improved thermal
stability when exposed to high temperatures as here described.
[0090] It has been unexpectedly discovered that expression and
accumulation of an enzyme in a plant provides the enzyme with
additional thermal stability relative to the same enzyme that is
produced microbially.
[0091] In an embodiment, the method of making a transgenic plant
includes transformation. For transformation, the nucleic acid may
be introduced into a vector. Suitable vectors may be cloning
vectors, transformation vectors, expression vectors, or virus-based
vectors. The expression cassette portion of a vector may further
include a regulatory element operably linked to a nucleic acid
encoding a glucanase. In this context, operably linked means that
the regulatory element imparts its function on the nucleic acid.
For example, a regulatory element may be a promoter, and the
operably linked promoter would control expression of the nucleic
acid.
[0092] The expression of a nucleic acid encoding a glucanase from
the expression cassette may be under the control of a promoter
which provides for transcription of the nucleic acid in a plant.
The promoter may be a constitutive promoter or, tissue specific, or
an inducible promoter. A constitutive promoter may provide
transcription of the nucleic acid throughout most cells and tissues
of the plant and during many stages of development but not
necessarily all stages. An inducible promoter may initiate
transcription of the nucleic acid sequence only when exposed to a
particular chemical or environmental stimulus. A tissue specific
promoter may be capable of initiating transcription in a particular
plant tissue. Plant tissue may be, but is not limited to, a stem,
leaves, trichomes, anthers, cob, seed, endosperm, or embryo. The
constitutive promoter may be, but is not limited to the maize
ubiquitin promoter (ZmUbil), Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CAMV) 35S
promoter, the Cestrum Yellow Leaf Curling Virus promoter (CMP), the
actin promoter, or the Rubisco small subunit promoter. The tissue
specific promoter may be the maize globulin promoter (ZmGlb1), the
rice glutelin promoter (prGTL), the maize zein promoter (ZmZ27), or
the maize oleosin promoter (ZmOle). The promoter may provide
transcription of a synthetic polynucleotide having a sequence with
at least 70, 72, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98,
99, or 100% identity to a reference sequence selected from the
group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 7 [pAG4258], SEQ ID NO: 8 [pAG4588],
SEQ ID NO: 9 [pAG4597], SEQ ID NO: 10 [pAG4708], SEQ ID NO: 11
[pAG4766], SEQ ID NO: 12 [pAG4767], SEQ ID NO: 13 [pAG4770], SEQ ID
NO: 14 [pAG4771], SEQ ID NO: 15 [pAG4257], SEQ ID NO: 16 [pAG4692],
SEQ ID NO: 17 [pAG4693], SEQ ID NO: 18 [pAG4705] and SEQ ID NO: 19
[pAG4706] and expression of glucanase that is capable of degrading
a polysaccharide.
[0093] In an embodiment, the transformation in the method of making
a transgenic plant may be stable transformation, wherein the
nucleic acid encoding the glucanase integrates into the genome of
the transformed plant. The transformation may be
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using a vector suitable for
stable transformation described herein. The method of making a
transgenic plant may include any other methods for transforming
plants, for example, particle bombardment, or protoplast
transformation via direct DNA uptake. The transgenic plant may
include any synthetic nucleic acid, amino acid sequence, or vector
herein.
[0094] In an embodiment, the method of making a transgenic plant
may include transient transformation to transiently express the
recombinant protein. The term "transient expression" refers to the
expression of an exogenous nucleic acid molecule delivered into a
cell: e.g., a plant cell, and not integrated in the plant's cell
chromosome. Expression from extra-chromosomal exogenous nucleic
acid molecules can be detected after a period of time following a
DNA-delivery. Virus-based vectors may be used to carry and express
exogenous nucleic acid molecules. Virus-based vectors may replicate
and spread systemically within the plant. Use of virus based
vectors may lead to very high levels of glucanase accumulation in
transgenic plants.
[0095] Methods of making a transgenic plant, methods of increasing
utilization of non-starch polysaccharides in an animal, methods for
enhancing production of fermentable sugars from grains, methods for
increasing metabolizable energy of a diet, methods preparing and
animal feedstock and methods for producing genetically engineered
plants homozygous for a synthetic nucleic acid that encodes a
glucanase may comprise a method of detection herein as part of
making transgenic plants and/or identifying plants, plant biomass
or animal feed that comprise a synthetic nucleic acid herein.

be capable of hybridizing to the sequence of the nucleic acid
comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 40, or SEQ ID NO: 44 under
conditions of high stringency. The target sequence may be used as a
probe for diagnosing any one of the events described herein.
[0099] A sample may include any sample in which nucleic acids from
plant matter are present. A sample may be a protein sample. A
protein sample may include any sample in which proteins from plant
matter are present. The sample or protein sample may include any
plant matter. The plant matter may derive from a plant or part
thereof. The plant material may derive from an animal feed or
food.
[0100] In an embodiment, a method of identifying maize event
4588.259, 4588.757 or 4588.652 in a sample is provided. The method
may include contacting a sample with a first primer and a second
primer. The method may include amplifying a synthetic
polynucleotide comprising a target sequence specific to the maize
event. The target sequence may be any target sequence described
herein. The first primer and the second primer may be capable of
amplifying the target sequence to produce an amplified product. The
amplified product may be used to determine whether a plant resulted
from a sexual crossing or selfing contains one or more of the
target sequences and diagnose specific events. The length of the
amplified product from the sample of the maize event may differ
from the length of the amplified product from the sample of wild
type plant of the same genetic background. The amplified product
from the event sample may be further used as probe that hybridizes
to a synthetic polynucleotide comprising a specific region encoding
a glucanase under conditions of high stringency. The method may
include further detecting hybridization of the at least one probe
to the specific region of the target sequence.

[0113] In an embodiment, a method of increasing metabolizable
energy of a diet is provided. Metabolizable energy (ME) refers to
the net energy of a diet or feed that is available to an animal
after the utilization of some energy in the processes of digestion
and absorption and the loss of some of the material as being
undigested or indigestible. Metabolizable energy may be apparent
metabolizable energy (AME) measured as the difference between the
calories of the feed consumed by an animal and excrements collected
after feed consumption. Metabolizable energy may be true
metabolizable energy (TME), which is similar to AME except that it
also takes into account endogenous energy. Energy contents in a
diet or feed ingredients may be determined using one of several
methodologies (NRC. 1994. Nutrient Requirements of Poultry. 9th
rev. ed. Natl. Acad. Press, Washington, D.C., which is incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth). Gross energy (GE) is
direct measurement using an adiabatic bomb calorimeter, which
measures the heat of combustion of a sample within a high oxygen
atmosphere. Apparent digestible energy (DE) is GE of a feed or
feedstuff minus GE of feces only. Apparent metabolizable energy
(AME) is GE of a feed or feedstuff minus GE of feces, urine, and
gaseous products from digestion. For poultry, the gaseous release
is very low, and typically neglected due to its very small value,
and the urine and feces are excreted together and are not collected
separately in most cases. True metabolizable energy (TME) accounts
for only the GE from excreta that is from the feed or feedstuff
origin, by subtracting the endogenous energy loss from non-feed
origin (i.e. sloughing of intestinal tract cells). Another energy
measurement used for feedstuffs in animals is net energy (NE) which
adjusts for heat increment. Since heat increment is dependent on
level of productivity, which fluctuates in poultry because of short
lifespan, this variable is not frequently used in poultry.
[0114] The TME rooster assay may be used to account for endogenous
(non-feed) losses of GE by including a fasted rooster and
collecting excreta to correct the GE from the fed (feed/feedstuff)
rooster. See Sibbald, 1976, Poultry Science 55: 303-308, which is
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. This assay
has commonly been used for determining TME of individual feedstuffs
rather than complete feed, and requires cecetomized roosters (ceca
surgically removed) to always be on hand. The assay involves
force-feeding (into the crop) a known quantity of an ingredient (in
birds that were previously fasted 24-48 hr) and then collect feces
for a 24-48 hour period. The equation used to calculate TME is
given as
TME={(GE.sub.f.times.FI)-[(GE.sub.e.times.EO).sup.+-(GE.sub.e.times.EO).s-
up.-]}/FI, where Gross Energy (GE) is determined by bomb
calorimetry in kcal/kg; FI is feed intake (kg); EO is excreta
output fed birds (kg); GE.sub.e is the Gross Energy of the excreta
content; GE.sub.f is the Gross Energy of the feed; "k" signifies
the quantity is from the fed birds energy output; and "-" signifies
that the quantity is from the fasted birds energy output. The
roosters (or turkeys) used in TME assays are adult birds with a
fully developed digestive tract. Research has shown that there are
differences in ME determinations using roosters (layer breeds),
turkeys and broilers when analyzing same feed ingredients (Cozannet
et al, 2010 J. Anim, Sci., 88(7):2382-2392, which is incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth). So determining TME or
AME using rooster model may not be equivalent to what is observed
in a young broiler, but is a commonly used proxy in research and
industry.
[0115] For broilers, the AME assay may be used for determining
complete feed and some energy supplying feedstuffs, as well as the
effect from adding feed ingredients that aid in digestion. There
are two common methods for determining ME: 1) doing a total excreta
collection and weighing and record feed consumption during the time
period (Equation 1 below) or 2) using an indigestible marker in
feed (chromic oxide, titanium oxide or acid insoluble ash) and
taking a subsample of feces with no weighing required (Equation 2
below). The marker method of AME determination may be used, in
which no weighing of feed consumption or total fecal collection and
no need to separate feed spilled from feces pan are required. With
the marker method, birds are fed the marker for at least two days
(but preferably five or more days). Feces are collected over
several days (e.g., three days) with daily collection composited
into one sample.
[0116] AME using the total collection method (Equation 1) is
calculated as follows:
AME=[(GE.sub.f.times.FI)-(GE.sub.e.times.EO)]/FI,
where Gross Energy (GE) is measured in bomb calorimetry (kcal/kg);
FI is feed intake (kg); EO is excreta output (kg); e refers to
excreta content; and f refers to the feed content. AME using the
marker method is calculated as
AME=[(GE.sub.e/M.sub.e)-(GE.sub.f/M.sub.f)]/(GE.sub.e/M.sub.e),
where Gross Energy is GE (kcal/kg); M is the marker (ppm or %);
"e"=excreta content; "f"=feed content.
[0117] Another method that may be used to determine AME of feed
when investigating feed additives that aid in digestion is Ileal
digestible energy (IDE). This method uses the AME marker method
(described above), but the birds are euthanized and a section of
ileum excised and contents removed, dried and analyzed for GE and
the marker. The IDE method may be used effectively for testing and
comparing feed additives used to improve digestion/absorption of
feed energy. The benefit of IDE, is no cages with collection pans
are required and can collect during a floor-pen study. With the
marker method, birds are fed the marker for at least two days (and
preferably five or more days).
[0118] AME using the IDE marker method (Equation 2) is calculated
as follows:
AME=GE.sub.f-(GE.sub.d.times.M.sub.f/M.sub.d),
where GE (kcal/kg); M represents the marker; ".sub.d" represents
the digesta content; and ".sub.f" signifies the feed content.
[0119] AME and TME may be corrected for nitrogen retention (AMEn
and TMEn). To adjust, the grams of N are multiplied by 8.22 kcal/g
(GE of uric acid; primary excretory product of protein tissue
oxidized for energy), which also is subtracted off of the GE
consumed. See Hill, F. W., and D. L. Anderson, 1958, "Comparison of
metabolizable energy and productive energy determinations with
growing chicks." J. Nutr. 64:587-603, which is incorporated herein
by reference as if fully set forth. Calculations for total
collection of marker method for AMEn are shown in Equation 3 and
Equation 4 below, respectively. Equation 3: AMEn, total
collection:
AMEn={(GE.sub.f.times.FI)-(GE.sub.e.times.EO)-[8.22.times.(N.sub.f-N.sub-
.e)]}/FI,
where GE=kcal/kg; FI=feed intake (kg); EO=excreta output (kg);
N=nitrogen (g); e=excreta content; f=feed content.
[0120] Equation 4: IDEn, marker method:
AMEn=GE.sub.f-(GE.sub.d.times.M.sub.f/M.sub.d)-{8.22.times.[N.sub.f-(Nd.-
times.M.sub.f/M.sub.d)]},
where GE=kcal/kg; M=marker; N=nitrogen (g/kg) "d"=digesta content;
"f"=feed content.
[0121] While the TME method may be used for determining ME of
individual ingredients, the AME (IDE) method may be used with
broilers to measure ME in individual ingredients or total diet and
testing effects improving ME by use of enzymes or other feed
additives.
[0122] A diet or feed may include any feed ingredient or mixture of
ingredients including water. The diet may be any food, feed, feed
composition, diet, preparation, additive, supplement, or mixture
included in an animal feedstock described herein. The diets are

Example 1. Feed Glucanase Expression Vectors
[0149] A codon optimized nucleotide sequence for expression of the
AGR2314 feed glucanase in maize was synthesized. For generating
initial plant transformation constructs, single AGR2314 expression
cassettes were assembled in vectors pAG4000 (pAG4258) or pAG4500
(pAG4588, pAG4597, and pAG4708). The vector pAG4000 has been
created by replacing the rice ubiquitin 3 promoter with the first
intron by the maize ubiquitin 1 promoter containing its own first
intron for driving expression of the selectable marker gene
encoding E. coli phosphomannose isomerase (PMI). The vector pAG4500
represents further improvement of pAG4000 and contains three
modifications such as 1) insertion after the first maize ubiquitin
intron of a 9 bp sequence (ATCCAGATC) representing the first three
codons of the ubiquitin monomer with ATG converted into ATC; 2)
insertion of the maize Kozak element (TAAACC) after the 9 bp
sequence ubiquitin monomer; 3) replacement of the old multiple
cloning site (MCS) by a new MCS that was synthesized by PCR and
that was designed to contain multiple sites for several rare
cutting enzymes (NotI, PacI, FseI, SwaI, AscI, AsiSI) to facilitate
cloning of up to 4-5 expression cassettes on one T-DNA.

pAG4588, pAG4597, and pAG4708, respectively, carrying a single feed
glucanase expression unit. The vector pAG4258 (FIG. 1; SEQ ID NO 7)
has been cloned by assembling an expression cassette that was
composed of the maize Glb1 promoter fused to the maize codon
optimized AGR2314 sequence in KpnI-AvrII sites of pAG4000. The
vectors pAG4588 (FIG. 2; SEQ ID NO 8) and pAG4597 (FIG. 3; SEQ ID
NO 9) were developed by assembling their corresponding AGR2314
expression cassettes in KpnI-EcoRI sites of pAG4500, while the
vector pAG4708 (FIG. 4; SEQ ID NO 10) was produced by cloning
AGR2314 expression cassette into XmaI-AvrII sites of pAG4500. FIGS.

respectively, carrying two feed glucanase expression units. FIGS.
7-8 illustrate the expression vectors pAG4770 and pAG4771,
respectively, carrying three feed glucanase expression units. The
unique rare cutting restriction sites that are available within the
MCS of the pAG4500 were subsequently used in order to develop
additional expression constructs containing either double AGR2314
expression units, such as pAG4766 (FIG. 5; SEQ ID NO 11) and
pAG4767 (FIG. 6; SEQ ID NO 12), or triple AGR2314 expression units,
such as pAG4770 (FIG. 7; SEQ ID NO 13) and pAG4771 (FIG. 8; SEQ ID
NO 14), on the same T-DNA. The constructed vectors for expression
of AGR2314 glucanase in plants are listed in Table 1. E. coli
strains carrying the expression vectors were used for conjugation
with Agrobacterium and subsequent transformation of maize.

Example 2. Feed Glucanase Protein Extraction Procedure
[0153] Flour was prepared from about 20 transgenic seeds by milling
in an Udy cyclone mill or knife mill with 0.5 mm or 1 mm screen.
About 0.5 ml of protein extraction buffer (100 mM sodium phosphate,
pH 6.5, 0.01% Tween 20) was added to 20 mg flour in a 2 ml tube. In
some cases, 2 g, 10 g, or 20 g ground samples was mixed with 10 ml,
50 ml or 100 ml of the extraction buffer in 15 ml tubes or 250 ml
bottles. Larger masses and volumes can be used by scaling these
amounts appropriately. After vortexing, the tubes were placed on a
rotating platform in a 60.degree. C. incubator and rotated for 1
hour for protein extraction. After centrifugation at 16,000.times.g
for 10 min in a tabletop centrifuge, the supernatant was diluted
20-fold for enzyme assay by adding 20 .mu.l supernatant to 380
.mu.l protein extraction buffer. In some cases, other dilution
factors were used, as necessary.
Example 3. Feed Glucanase Activity Measurement
[0154] Colorimetric Assay. Fifty microliters of the diluted
(20-fold to 360-fold) protein extract was mixed with 450 .mu.l of
100 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.5, 0.01% Tween 20 and 1 tablet
of .beta.-glucazyme from Megazyme (Wicklow Ireland), and then
incubated at 80.degree. C. for 1 hour before adding 1 ml of 2% Tris
base. After centrifugation at 3000.times.g for 10 min, 100 .mu.l of
supernatant was transferred to a microplate for absorbance
measurement at 590 nm (A590). The activity was recorded as A590/mg
flour after multiplying the dilution factors: A590xAx(500/50)/20
mg, where A is protein extraction dilution factor; 500 is the
volume (ml) of buffer used for protein extraction; 50 is the volume
of protein extraction (ml) used in the activity test.
[0155] Unit Activity Measurement. The assay involves the
quantitation of reducing sugars that are released during a time
course digestion of a model substrate (barley-.beta.-glucan)
obtained from Megazyme (Wicklow, Ireland).
[0156] Hydrolysis of model substrate. Test 2 ml tubes were labeled
with "+" sign, and 5 mg barley-.beta.-glucan substrate (reaction)
was added to each test tube; no substrate was added to control
tubes (control). Four hundred fifty microliters of 100 mM sodium
phosphate buffer, pH 6.5, was added to each tube (reactions and
controls), and tubes were placed into a Thermo-shaker with
temperature set at 80.degree. C. and shaking speed set at 1000 rpm.
Tubes were shaken at 1000 rpm at 80.degree. C. for 20 min until the
substrate was completed dissolved. A tube with 2 ml of diluted
grain protein extract, extracted as described above was placed in
the Thermo-shaker to be pre-warmed.
[0157] Fifty microliters of the pre-warmed sample were added to the
control and reaction tubes. Shaking was resumed and a timer was
started. After 15 minute of shaking at 80.degree. C., 50 .mu.l of
each of the reaction and control samples were removed and mixed
with 10 .mu.l of 0.5N HCl in separate microplates. Shaking of the
samples was resumed until all samples were removed and mixed with
acid.
[0158] BCA quantification of glucose reducing equivalents. Glucose
standards were prepared in protein extraction buffer at the
following concentrations: 0.05 mM, 0.1 mM, 0.2 mM, 0.4 mM, 0.6 mM,
and 0.8 mM. BCA reagent (from Thermo Scientific) was prepared by
mixing reagent A with reagent B in a ratio of 50:1. To make a
glucose standard curve, 75 .mu.l of buffer were dispensed into the
first well of row A (A1) in a microplate and 75 .mu.l of each
glucose standard were dispensed into wells A2 through A7. To detect
the reducing sugars from the feed glucanase reaction and control
samples, 25 .mu.l from each reaction were dispensed into rows of
the microplate in the order of their incubation time with
barley-.beta.-glucan (e.g., row B1-B2: 15 min-30 min), then added
25 .mu.l of corresponding control to another row of the microplate
(e.g., row C1-C2: 15 min-30 min). Subsequently, 50 .mu.l of sodium
phosphate buffer were dispensed in each well in these two rows
(reaction and control), and 175 .mu.l BCA reagent were added to
each well using a multichannel pipette. Mixing was achieved by
pipetting up and down. The microplate was sealed and incubated at
80.degree. C. in a heat block. After 10 min incubation, the
microplate was chilled on ice for 10 minutes and centrifuged to
bring down condensate. Subsequently, the absorbance at 560 nm of
each well was measured on a microplate reader.
[0159] Calculating units of feed glucanase activity from A560. The
absorbance from the reagent blank was subtracted from the
absorbance values for each of the glucose standards, and the
resulting values were plotted according to their glucose
concentrations. Linear regression was then used to calculate the
"best fit" line through the data set. To determine glucose reducing
equivalents in glucanase/barley-.beta.-glucan reactions, for each
time point, the absorbance value from the control sample was
subtracted from the reaction sample, and the resulting value was
used to calculate the concentration of reducing sugars by
comparison to the glucose standard curve. One unit (U) of glucanase
activity is the amount of enzyme required to release 1 .mu.mol
glucose reducing equivalents from 1% Barley-.beta.-glucan per
minute at 80.degree. C., pH 5.3, using the BCA method of
quantitation.
[0160] Unit Activity Measurement (semi-high throughput method). As
described herein, the method detects the reducing sugars such as
glucose released from the model substrate (barley-.beta.-glucan) by
glucanase treatment at 80.degree. C. for 40 minutes or 90 minutes.
When protein extract from grain or feed is appropriately diluted,
the initial velocity is detected within 40 minutes (grain product)
or 90 minutes (feed sample) of the reaction. The reactions were
carried out in 96-well block (Costar, Cat #3960) or strip tubes
(VWR, Cat #29442-610).
[0161] Substrate preparation: Barley-.beta.-glucan (low viscosity)
was weighed based on the number of reactions, e.g., 10 samples, 4
dilutions for each sample needed a total of 40 reactions. Each
reaction needed 5 mg substrate, therefore, at least 40.times.5=200
mg of barley-.beta.-glucan was required. The substrate was
completely dissolved with the extraction buffer at 80.degree. C.
water bath for 20 minutes, and vortexed at every 5 to 10
minutes.
[0162] The cluster tubes were used for 90 minutes endpoint activity
unit assay of feed samples. Protein extract was diluted to 2-, 6-,
10- and 20-fold dilutions.
[0163] Purified protein diluted 100-fold was used as a positive
control for assay validation. Purified glucanase protein (200,000
ppb) was stored in 50 mM MES, 150 mM sodium chloride, pH6.3 buffer
plus 40% glycerol at -20.degree. C. Ten microliters of protein were
mixed with 990 .mu.l of the extraction buffer, and 50 .mu.l were
used for activity assay.
[0164] Barley-.beta.-glucan digestion by feed glucanase was carried
out at a water bath set at 80.degree. C. In the block of cluster
tubes, 450 .mu.l of the substrate were dispensed into tubes of A2
to D12 referring Table 2. These rows served as the reaction.
[0165] Four hundred fifty microliters of the extraction buffer (no
substrate) were added to each control tubes from rows E2 to H12,
which served as blank to correct protein content detected by BCA
method for each reaction as described in Table 2 (A2 to D12).
[0166] Fifty microliters of the diluted sample extract including
the negative control and positive control were added first to each
blank tube, E2 to H12, and then to each reaction tube, A2 to D12,
as described in Table 2.

[0167] The tubes were covered with Corning.TM. Storage Mat III, the
Corning Storage Mat Applicator was used to seal the tubes. The
plate was shaken at a low speed. The block was placed in the water
bath at 80.degree. C. for the 90 minutes incubation period. The
reaction was terminated by adding 100 .mu.l of 0.5 N HCl to each
well and cooling the block on ice.
[0168] BCA quantification of glucose reducing equivalents. Glucose
standards were prepared in 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH6, at
the following concentrations: 0.05 mM, 0.1 mM, 0.2 mM, 0.4 mM, 0.6
mM, and 0.8 mM. BCA reagent (from Thermo Scientific) was prepared
by mixing reagent A with reagent B in a ratio of 50:1. To make a
glucose standard curve in column 1 on a microplate, 75 .mu.l of
buffer was dispensed into the first well of row A (A1) and 75 .mu.l
of each glucose standard were dispensed into wells A2 through A7.
To detect the reducing sugars from the feed glucanase reaction and
control samples, 25 .mu.l from each reaction were dispensed into
rows of the microplate according to the order displayed on Table 2.
Subsequently, 50 .mu.l of the extraction buffer was dispensed in
each sample well (reaction and blank) referring to Table 2 from A2
to H12 to make a total volume 75 .mu.l. One hundred seventy five
microliters of the BCA reagent were added to each well and mixed.
The microplate was sealed and incubated at 80.degree. C. on a heat
block. After 10 min incubation, the microplate was chilled on ice
for 10 min and centrifuged to bring down condensate. Subsequently,
the absorbance at 560 nm of each well was measured on a microplate
reader.
[0169] Calculating units of feed glucanase activity from A560. The
absorbance value for the reagent blank was subtracted from the
absorbance values for each of the glucose standards, and the
resulting values were plotted according to their glucose
concentrations. Linear regression was then used to calculate the
"best fit" line for the data set. To determine glucose reducing
equivalents in the glucanase/barley-.beta.-glucan reactions, the
absorbance value from the control sample was subtracted from
absorbance value of the corresponding reaction sample, and the
resulting value was used to calculate the concentration of reducing
sugars by comparison to the glucose standard curve. One unit (U) of
glucanase activity equals 1 .mu.mol glucose reducing equivalents
released from 1% barley-.beta.-glucan per minute at 80.degree. C.,
using the BCA method of quantitation.
[0170] Calculating units of positive controls from A560 to validate
the assay. The value of absorbance for blank samples (E12, F12,
G12, H12) was subtracted from the value of absorbance for each
reaction sample (A12, B12, C12, D12). The regression equation for
the glucose standard was used to calculate the glucose content
(.mu.mol). To determine the amount of reducing units produced per
minute (A), the value for the amount of glucose (.mu.mol) released
from barley-.beta.-glucan in the reaction was divided by the
reaction time, for example 90, if the reaction time was 90 minutes.
The unit value of positive controls equals the dilution x (A)/mg of
protein in the assay. The dilution factor in the assay described
herein equals 24. The dilution factor of 24 was determined by
comparing the ratio of the total reaction volume to the portion of
the reaction that was used in the BCA assay. In the assay, the
total reaction volume was 600 .mu.l including 500 .mu.l reaction
and 100 .mu.l of HCl used to stop the reaction. The portion of the
reaction that was used in the BCA assay was 25 .mu.l. Therefore,
the dilution factor of 24 was calculated by dividing 600 .mu.l by
25 .mu.l.
[0171] The amount of protein in the assay was calculated as
follows. The concentration of the positive control was 2000 ng/ml,
50 .mu.l was the aliquot of the positive control used in the test
(or 50/1000 if calculated in mL). The amount of protein calculated
in nanograms was 2000.times.(50/1000), or
2000.times.(50/1000)/1000000 if calculated in milligrams.
Example 4. Glucanase Activity in Seed from Transgenic Maize
[0172] Silks on untransformed (wild type) maize plants were
pollinated with pollen from individual transgenic maize plants that
carried the pAG4588 construct. Mature, dried seeds were harvested
from the resulting ears and assayed for activity via the
colorimetric assay. FIG. 9 illustrates the range of activities
recovered from 42 independent ears. In this figure, the numbers
along the abscissa correspond to individual event identifiers. The
highest activity was observed in the event 259. In the T0
transgenic maize plants 757 that also carried the pAG4588
construct, the activity was about 25 A590/mg. The average activity
of the homozygous seeds derived from the first generation of the
selfed plants was approximately 116 f 15 A590/mg. The activity of
heterozygous seeds from this population was about 59 f 18
A590/mg.
[0173] Silks on untransformed (wild type) maize plants were
pollinated with pollen from individual transgenic maize plants that
carried the pAG4597 construct. Mature, dried seed were harvested
from the resulting ears and assayed for activity via the
colorimetric assay. FIG. 10 illustrates the range of activities
recovered from 15 independent ears. In this figure, the numbers
along the abscissa correspond to individual event identifiers. The
highest activity was observed in the event 460.

[0192] The maize genomic DNA flanks in sequences OB-3170 and
OB-3237 are separated by 21 nucleotides on the maize chromosome 8,
which indicates that during T-DNA integration 21 bp of the original
maize genomic DNA sequence were replaced by the inserted T-DNA
sequences.
[0193] Event 4588.652: FIG. 11 illustrates a diagram showing
positions of the characterized flanking sequences in 4588.652.
[0194] Sequences isolated at the T-DNA insertion site in 4588.652.
T-DNA in the event 4588.652 has integrated into chromosome 7 of the
maize genome in BxA genotype, which was used for maize
transformation with the pAG4588 construct. The T-DNA insertion
occurred between nucleotides 141683320-141683357 of the publicly
available reference B73 maize genome. The T-DNA integration
displaced 38 bp of the native maize genomic sequence at this site.
This 38 bp DNA is underlined and the sequences of pAG4588 are
underlined and shown in bold characters in the sequences of the
T-DNA insertions shown below. The diagram illustrated in FIG. 11
depicts locations of the sequences in the locus in 4588.652. The
right and the left border T-DNA flanking sequences, OB-4448 and
OB-4451 respectively, were isolated from multiple 4588.652 progeny
using a PCR-based genome walking approach. The entire genomic
regions between the right and the left border flanks were isolated
and sequence characterized from WT genotypes BxA, 19545 (E), 15009
(G) as well as the nulls BC2ES2_512x and BC1GS2_518x. The following
wild type maize genomic DNA sequences were used for reference: the
WT_BxA (OB-4541; SEQ ID NO: 32), the WT_E sequence (OB-4545,
OB-4546; SEQ ID NO: 33), the WT_G sequence (OB-4547, OB-4548; SEQ
ID NO: 34), the Null_BC2ES2_512x sequence (OB-4578 to OB-4580; SEQ
ID NO: 35), the Null_BC1GS2_518x sequence (OB-4582 to OB-4584; SEQ
ID NO: 36), and the WT_B73Chr7_141681606-141685147 reference
sequence (SEQ ID NO: 37). Furthermore, the right and the left
border flanks were additionally isolated and entirely sequenced
from the more advanced 4588_652 transgenic progeny BC2ES2_472x. The
entire 4044 bp BxA genomic sequence containing the right and the
left border flanking sequences have high BLASTN identity hits to
two nucleotide positions 141681606-141682538 and
141682550-141685147 on the chromosome 7 in the maize B73
genome.
[0195] Analysis of Nucleotide Sequences in the Left T-DNA Border
Flank
[0196] The left T-DNA border flank OB-4451 has 98.66% BLASTN
sequence identity to nucleotides 141683358-141685147 on the maize
chromosome 7 in B73 genome. Multiple sequence alignment of the left
border specific sequences from the wild type genotypes B73, BxA,
19545 (E), 15009 (G), nulls BC2ES2_512x and BC1GS2_518x as well as
4588_652 transgenic progenies 116_F1G and BC2ES2_472x and the
reference public sequence of B73 genome revealed that these 1.8 kb
sequences are nearly 100% identical between all genotypes.
[0197] Analysis of Nucleotide Sequences in the Right T-DNA Border
Flank
[0198] The 2218 bp right border flank OB-4448 has high BLASTN
sequence identity to two nucleotide positions 141681606-141682538
and 141682550-141683319 on the maize chromosome 7 in B73 genome.
Multiple sequence alignment of the right border specific sequences
from 4588_652 transgenic progenies 116_F1G and BC2ES2_472x with the
WT sequence of BxA revealed that these three 2.2 kb sequences are
nearly 100% identical.
[0199] A 521 bp "unique" sequence that is specific to the right
T-DNA border flank has originated from genotype BxA, which was used
for transformation with the pAG4588 construct. No BLASTN sequence
identity hits to this sequence were identified at the T-DNA
integration site within the reference B73 genome. On the other
hand, the 521 bp sequence has multiple BLASTN identity hits on
different chromosomes in maize B73 genome indicating that this
sequence is highly repetitive. The 521 bp sequence is shown in
italicized lowercase letters.

Example 6. Feed Glucanase Expression in Subsequent Generations
[0203] Several "T1" progeny from original "T0" transgenic maize
plants were grown, and individual ears were either self-pollinated
or pollinated with pollen from wild-type maize plants. Mature seed
from the resulting ears was then assayed for feed glucanase
activity via the colorimetric assay. FIG. 12 illustrates that
glucanase activity was observed in T1 events. In this figure, the
numbers along the abscissa correspond to the event identifiers of
the original T0 plants from which the progeny were derived. The
highest activity was observed for seeds of T1 plant derived from
the 4597_69 event.
Example 7. Feed Glucanase Expression in Multi-Generations of
Hemizygous, Homozygous and Hybrid Seeds
[0204] Progeny from original "T0" transgenic maize plants were
grown and backcrossed (pollinated with pollen from the wild type
maize parents or pollinated onto the wild type parents) for 4
generations (in maize inbred line E (BC4E), or in maize inbred line
G (BC4G)). At each generation, some individual ears were
self-pollinated. PCR method was applied to select homozygous plants
as described in Example 8. Hybrid ears were made by
cross-pollinating transgenic line G plants with transgenic line E
plants, or vice versa.
[0205] FIG. 13 illustrates that glucanase activity in the
hemizygous, homozygous and hybrid ears of event 4588.259. The
homozygous and hybrid ears contained average activity of 190
units/g, which was approximately double of ears from hemizygous
plants.
Example 8. PCR Assays for Identifying and Determining Zygosity of
the Glucanase Events 4588.259, 4588.652, and 4588.757
[0206] Maize glucanase events 4588.259, 4588.652, and 4588.757
carry transgenes that result in seed-specific expression of
glucanase enzyme. Event 4588.259 originally carried two T-DNA
insertions at independently segregating loci, but subsequently a
single genetic locus was selected for propagation and development.
Events 4588.652 and 4588.757 carry two or more T-DNAs at a single
genetic locus. Molecular identification and tracking of these
transgenes can be done using standard PCR analysis (visually
scoring an endpoint in a gel-based electrophoresis and staining of
the PCR products) or real-time PCR. In addition to determining
whether a plant is carrying a transgene, some of these PCR assays
can also determine whether a plant is hemizygous (carrying one copy
of the insertion) or homozygous (carrying two copies of the
insertion).
[0207] FIG. 24 illustrates general real-time PCR assay design used
to determine T-DNA locus presence (standard and real-time PCR) and
zygosity (real-time PCR only).
[0208] In FIG. 14, the standard and real-time PCR assays include,
for each T-DNA locus, one primer (Primer A) that binds to a maize
genomic region that is adjacent to where the T-DNA insert is
located and one primer (Primer B) that binds to a region in the
T-DNA that is close to Primer A. To determine zygosity in the
real-time PCR assay, a second reference gene (GWD, glucan water
dikinase) is amplified (X and Y primers) along with the locus
primers. Real-time PCR amplification of product from Primers A+B
would indicate that the T-DNA locus is present and its fluorescence
relative to the GWD reference (ref) fluorescence from amplification
of product from Primers X+Y would determine whether it is
hemizygous (one-copy) or homozygous (two-copy).
[0209] The standard multiplex PCR assay includes Primer A and B, as
described above, but also another primer (Primer C) that binds to a
maize genomic region on the other side of the T-DNA, opposite
Primer A, and would be close to Primer A if the T-DNA insertion was
not present, as in a wild type (WT) locus. FIG. 15 illustrates
general standard PCR assay design used to determine T-DNA locus
presence and zygosity. When the T-DNA insertion is present, the
distance between Primer A and Primer C would be too large to
amplify a product under our PCR amplification conditions and
therefore absence of this amplification product is used to
determine zygosity. PCR amplification of products from Primer A+B
and Primer A+C indicates that the T-DNA locus is present and is
hemizygous (one-copy). PCR amplification of product from Primer
A+B, but not Primer A+C, indicates that the T-DNA locus is present
and is homozygous (two-copy). PCR amplification of product from
Primer A+C only, indicates that no T-DNA is present and the plant
is WT at this locus. Primers and probes for all of these assays are
listed in Tables 3 and 4.

[0211] DNA Extraction
[0212] These PCR assays will work with any DNA extraction method
that yields DNA that can be amplified with PCR. A standard DNA
extraction method (10X TE+Sarkosyl) that was used in this example
is as follows: leaf tissue (standard 1 cm hole punch) is sampled
into a 96 deep-well block, metal beads are added, and the block is
frozen at -80.degree. C. for at least 30 min. The block is then
ground for 45 sec in a Kleco Pulverizer, centrifuged at 4,000 RPM
for 3 min, the lid is removed, 300 .mu.l of 10XTE+Sarkosyl is
added, the block is resealed, and the block is mixed at room
temperature for 10-20 min. After incubation, the block is
centrifuged at 4,000 RPM for 5 min, 165 .mu.l of upper aqueous
phase is removed and added to a 96-well PCR block, the PCR block is
sealed, and the block is incubated at 90.degree. C. for 30 min.
After incubation, 20 .mu.l of extract is added to 180 .mu.l of
sterile water in a 96-well plate (1:10 dilution) to create the
final DNA sample for PCR.

sec); 72.degree. C., 8 min.
[0220] Event 4588.757 Standard PCR:
[0221] Components (final concentration) were as follows: PCR Mix

sec); 72.degree. C., 8 min.
[0222] Standard PCR was analyzed by running approximately 15 .mu.l
of PCR product on a 3% agarose gel at 95V for 30 min. An example of
results from a standard PCR analysis of the 4588.652 selfed
segregating plants is shown in FIG. 16. Referring to this figure,
ten PCR reactions from 10 independent plants were separated on a 3%
agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide. Expected locus and
zygosity band sizes are indicated on the right side of the
image.
[0223] Locus presence and zygosity is scored by visualizing
specific bands in each lane.
[0224] Real-Time PCR was performed with 2 .mu.l of DNA extract in
20 .mu.l reaction volumes with the following components and
conditions for each event:
[0225] Event 4588.259 Real-Time PCR:

were as follows: 95.degree. C., 4 min; 40 cycles (95.degree. C., 5
sec; 60.degree. C., 45 sec)
[0229] Event 4588. 259 Real-Time PCR. Real-Time PCR can be analyzed
by any real-time PCR machine and software capable of four-channel
fluorescence detection. A Bio-Rad CFX96 real-time PCR machine and
CFX Manager Software were used to run an example of the 4588.259
real-time PCR assay on a selfed segregating population of 4588.259
plants. FIG. 17 illustrates an example of real-time PCR data for
4588.259 to determine locus presence and zygosity. In this figure,
"RFU" refers to relative fluorescence units; "ntc" refers no target
control. Presence of the 4588.259 locus and zygosity was scored by
the clustering of data points on the graph.
Example 9. Germination Rates Among Seed from Independent Transgenic
Plants that Express Feed Glucanase
[0230] Silks on wild-type plants were pollinated with pollen from
individual transgenic plants (WT.times.Transgenic), or silks on
transgenic plants were pollinated with pollen from wild-type plants
(Transgenic.times.WT). Mature, dried seed were collected from the
resulting ears and planted into soil. Following 1-2 weeks of
incubation, germination rates were calculated. In some cases, this
test was repeated following a second generation of growth and
pollination (T2). Examples of results from such germination tests
are shown in Table 5.

Example 10. Survival of Feed Glucanase Activity During Preparation
of Poultry Feed Pelleting
[0232] Milled grain from transgenic plants expressing the feed
glucanase was mixed with starter and grower corn-soy diets that
were formulated for broiler chickens. The basal corn-soy diet for
starter broilers was composed as follows: 54.89% corn 08-2012,
32.81% soybean oilcake, 5.00% distillers dry grains plus soluble

soybean oilcake, 8.00% distillers dry grains plus soluble solids,
2.00% vermiculite, 1.69% dicalcium phosphate, 1.00% poultry fat,
0.76% limestone fine, 0.50% plain salt (NaCl), 0.20% mineral
premix, 0.20% choline chloride 60, 0.13% DL-methionine, 0.13%
L-lysine, 0.08% L-threonine, 0.05% vitamin premix, 0.05% coban, and
0.05% selenium premix.
[0233] Fine corn was ground using the hammermill screens: no. 4/4
for the starter diet and no. 6/6 for the grower and finisher diets.
Coarse corn (5% of total corn) was ground with the roller mill with
0/100 gap openings.
[0234] Four diets were formulated for the pelleting trial as
follows: Diet A was a basal diet, Diet D was the basal diet mixed
with a control enzyme, Diet E was the basal diet mixed with the
milled transgenic corn grain containing a high level of glucanase,
and Diet F was the basal diet mixed with the milled transgenic corn
grain containing a low level of glucanase.
[0235] Milled grain from transgenic plants expressing the feed
glucanase was mixed with the basal diets at a ratio of
approximately 1 lb transgenic grain per 2000 lbs basal diet
mixture. For the low dose diet, transgenic grain was first mixed
with non-transgenic grain at a weight ratio of 1:4 (1 gram of
transgenic grain per 4 grams non-transgenic grain) to dilute the
enzyme concentration prior to adding this ingredient to the basal
diets.
[0236] All feed diets were pelleted at 175-180.degree. F. into 4.4
mm pellets, and the starter diets were crumbled.
[0237] FIGS. 18A and 18B illustrate glucanase activity before and
after pelleting in the Grower Diet (FIG. 18A) and the Starter Diet
(FIG. 18B). Referring to these figures, samples from the resulting
mixture were then removed before and after pelleting of the feed.
These samples were then tested via the colorimetric glucanase assay
to determine whether the enzyme survived the pelleting process. The
identity of the various diets shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B were as
follows: A, basal control diet (no external enzyme); D, positive
control diet (commercially available enzyme added); F, low-dose
diet (including milled grain from plants that express the feed
glucanase); E, high-dose diet (including milled grain from plants
that express the feed glucanase). It was observed that glucanase
activity was high in the high-dose diet for both the Starter Diet
and the Grower Diet and survived pelleting.
Example 11. Thermal Stability of Grain-Expressed Feed Glucanase
[0238] Feed glucanase was prepared via microbial expression and
purification, and suspended in SEC buffer (100 mM MES, 300 mM NaCl,
pH6.3). Five microliters of this preparation was mixed with 20 mg
milled grain from wild-type maize. In parallel, 5 .mu.l of SEC
buffer was mixed with 20 mg milled grain from transgenic plants
that express feed glucanase. Replicates from each of these two sets
of samples were incubated at 94.degree. C. or -130.degree. C. for
various periods of time, then allowed to cool to room temperature.
Subsequently, residual glucanase activity was measured via the
colorimetric assay. FIGS. 19 A and 19B illustrate glucanase
activity after heat treatment. FIG. 19A illustrates glucanase
activity after treatment at 130.degree. C. FIG. 19B illustrates
glucanase activity after treatment at 94.degree. C. In these
experiments, more activity survived when the feed glucanase was
produced in the grain itself than when it was added to the grain
exogenously. This finding demonstrates that expression and
accumulation of the enzyme in grain effectively provides the enzyme
with additional thermal stability relative to the same enzyme that
is produced microbially. In this particular instance both the
grain-expressed and the microbially-expressed enzymes have the same
primary amino acid sequence. Therefore, the enhanced thermal
stability that was observed in the flour from transgenic grain is a
function of the expression host.
Example 12. Activity of Microbially-Produced AGR2314 at Various pH
Values
[0239] AGR2314 activity was measured at several pH values between 3
and 8.5. Each assay (500 .mu.L) contained Britton-Robinson
polybuffer (40 mM sodium phosphate, 40 mM sodium borate, and 40 mM
sodium acetate), 0.01% (v/v) Tween 20, one Beta-glucazyme substrate
tablet (Megazyme, Wicklow, Ireland), and 20 nM of AGR2314 in a 2 mL
Eppendorf tube. Samples were incubated for 1 hour at 37.degree. C.
or 80.degree. C. Reactions were terminated by the addition of 1 mL
of 2% (w/v) tris base. Samples were centrifuged at 15,000.times.g
for 10 minutes, and 100 .mu.L of each supernatant (37.degree. C.
assays) or 5 .mu.L supernatant plus 100 .mu.L of water (80.degree.
C. assays) was transferred to a flat-bottomed 96-well microplate.
Absorbances were read at 590 nm. Assays at each pH value were
performed in triplicate. Single blank assays (containing no enzyme)
were performed at each pH, and these absorbance values were
subtracted from the assays containing enzyme.
[0240] FIGS. 20 and 21 illustrate the optimum pH for measuring
AGR2314 activity at 37.degree. C. (FIG. 20) and 80.degree. C. (FIG.
21). Referring to FIG. 20, the optimum pH was determined to be
7-7.5 at 37.degree. C. FIG. 21 illustrates that the optimum was
determined to be 6 at 80.degree. C.
[0241] FIG. 22 shows an example of pH optimum of the feed glucanase
that is produced in transgenic flour.
[0242] To determine the relationship between the pH of the assay
conditions and the activity of the enzyme that was derived from
transgenic grain, 5 ml of water containing 0.2% Tween-20 was mixed
with 200 mg of flour from transgenic seed on a rotating platform
for 1 hour at 60.degree. C. Following centrifugation at
1500.times.g for 20 minutes in a clinical centrifuge, the
supernatant was transferred to a 15 mL Eppendorf tube. This sample
was centrifuged at 1500.times.g for 10 minutes in a tabletop
centrifuge. Aliquots of this protein extract were diluted 20-fold
in assays to test each pH condition by mixing 50 .mu.l of extract
with 950 .mu.l of Britton-Robinson polybuffer (40 mM sodium
phosphate, 40 mM sodium borate, and 40 mM sodium acetate) that had
been prepared at pH 2-10. The pH of each reaction mixture was
checked using a pH strip. Five hundred microliters from each
mixture was transferred to a 96 deep-well plate for the assay. One
beta-glucazyme tablet was added to each well and mixed by gentle
vortexing, the plate was sealed and incubated at 80.degree. C. for
1 hour. The reactions were stopped by adding 1 mL of 2% (w/v)
Tris-base to each well. The 96-well plate was centrifuged at
3000.times.g for 10 minutes in a clinical centrifuge, then 100
.mu.L of the supernatant from each of the samples was transferred
to wells in a flat-bottom microplate, and the absorbance at 590 nm
was determined on a microplate spectrophotometer. As shown in FIG.
22, the seed-produced enzyme has a pH optimum between pH6 and pH7,
but still retains a large fraction of its activity at a pH as high
as 10.
Example 13. Activity of Microbially-Produced AGR2314 and AGR2414 on
Various Substrates
[0243] All reactions used 5 nM of AGR2314, AGR2414, or 5 .mu.L of
control enzyme at the indicated concentrations, in 200 mM sodium
phosphate, 0.01% (v/v) Tween 20, pH 6.5. Reactions were carried out
for one hour at either 37.degree. C. or 80.degree. C. and
terminated as described.
[0244] Beta-glucosidase assays: the substrate was 1 mM
pNP-D-glucopyranoside (Sigma Chemical Co. catalog # N:7006) and the

described above for the beta-glucosidase assays.
[0247] Anylase assays: the substrate was Red Starch (Megazyme
catalog No. S-RTAR; prepared as directed by the manufacturer) and
the positive control enzyme was .alpha.-amylase from Bacillus
licheniformis (Megazyme catalog No. E-BLAAM: 3000 Units/mL). 245
.mu.L buffer, 5 .mu.L of enzyme, and 125 .mu.L of Red Starch
reagent were mixed and incubated as described above. Reactions were
terminated by the addition of 625 .mu.L ethanol. After incubating
at room temperature for 10 minutes, samples were centrifuged for 10
minutes at 3000.times.g, and 100 .mu.L of supernatant was
transferred to a microplate; absorbance at 510 nm was recorded.
[0248] Endoxylanase assays: each assay contained one tablet of
Xylazyme AX substrate (legazyme catalog No, No. XAX-1000) and the
positive control enzyme was 100 mg/mL of Thermomyces lanuginosis
xylanase (Sigma catalog #X2753) in assay buffer. Reactions were
carried out as described above for the endocellulase assays.
[0249] Pectinase assays: the substrate was 25 mg/mL pectin (Sigma
catalog No. P7536) in assay buffer and the positive control enzyme
was pectinase from Aspergillus niger (Sigma catalog No. 17389) at
100 mg/mL in assay buffer. Five p L of enzyme was added to 35 PL of
pectin solution and incubated as described above. Reactions were
terminated by the addition of 60 .mu.L of DNS stop/reagent solution
(Wicher et al. [2001], Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 55, p. 578)
followed by heating at 950.degree. C. for 15 minutes. Samples were
centrifuged at 3000.times.g for 10 minutes, 20 .mu.L supernatant
was mixed with 100 .mu.L water in a microplate, and the absorbance
at 550 nm was recorded.
[0250] 1,3-beta-glucosidase assays: each assay contained one tablet
of 1,3-beta-glucazyme HS substrate (Megazyme catalog No. ET-CUR200)
and the positive control enzyme was Trichoderma sp.
1,3-.beta.-D-glucanase (Megazyme catalog No. E-LAMSE; 50 Units/mL).
Reactions were carried out as described above for the endocellulase
assays.
[0251] 1,4-beta-glucosidase assays: each assay contained one tablet
of Beta-glucazyme substrate (Megazyme catalog No. TBGZ-1000T).
Reactions were carried out as described above for the endocellulase
assays, except that 5 .mu.L of supernatant was mixed with 100 PL of
water in a microplate for recording of absorbance.
[0252] FIGS. 23A and 23B illustrate the glucanase activity for
hydrolyzing starch, cellobiose (pNP-D-cellobioside), xylan
(Xylazyme AX), HE-cellulose (Cellazyme C), barley-B-glucan
(Beta-glucazyme), pectin and PNP-D-gluopyranoside at 37.degree. C.
(FIG. 23A) and 80.degree. C. (FIG. 23B). Referring to these
figures, it was observed that both AGR2314 and AGR2414 enzymes were
highly active in hydrolyzing cellobiose and HE-cellulose at
37.degree. C. and 80.degree. C.
Example 14. Glucanase Activity on Seed Fiber
[0253] Glucose release from untreated seed fiber 20 mg seed fiber
was digested at pH 5.0 with 5 .mu.M AGR2314 protein for 72 hours at
55 C. A commercial enzyme cocktail was used at full loading (FCT)
as a positive control. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the soluble
sugars in reaction supernatant were hydrolyzed into monomers via
acid hydrolysis at 121.degree. C. FIGS. 24A and 24B illustrate
release of monomeric sugars after enzymatic hydrolysis of the seed
fiber. FIG. 24A shows glucose yield and FIG. 24B shows xylose
yield. Pre-acid hydrolysis (light gray bars) and total (dark gray
bars) sugars were separated and quantified via HPLC using a Bio-Rad
Aminex HPX-87-P ion-exclusion column. AGR2314 does not release
monomeric glucose or xylose from untreated seed fiber. However,
this enzyme was able to solubilize untreated seed fiber into
oligosaccharides which account for approximately 80% of the total
sugars released by a commercially-available cellulase-enzyme
cocktail.
[0254] Glucose release from dilute acid-pretreated seed fiber 20 mg
seed fiber was pretreated at 80 C in 0.5% H.sub.2SO.sub.4 for 16
hours, then neutralized to pH 5.0. The pretreated seed fiber was
digested at pH 5.0 with 2 .mu.M AGR2314 and a suite of glucanase,
cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase, and beta-glucosidase (all at 2
.mu.M loading) for 72 hours at 55.degree. C. A commercial enzyme
cocktail (Accellerase XY, Genencor) was used at full loading (FCT)
as a positive control. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the soluble
sugars in reaction supernatant were hydrolyzed into monomers via
acid hydrolysis at 121.degree. C. FIGS. 25A and 25B illustrate
release of monomeric sugars after enzymatic hydrolysis of the seed
fiber. FIG. 25A shows glucose yield and FIG. 25B shows xylose
yield. Pre-acid hydrolysis (light gray bars) and total (dark gray
bars) sugars were separated and quantified via HPLC using a Bio-Rad
Aminex HPX-87-P ion-exclusion column.
[0255] AGR2314 did not release sugars from pretreated seed fiber at
greater levels than the pretreatment itself. When combined with
other cell-wall degrading enzymes, approximately 90% of total
sugars were released as compared to a commercially-available
cellulase-enzyme cocktail.
Example 15. The Use of Glucanase Enzymes on Broiler Live
Performance
[0256] The chemical energy contained within an animal's diet, and
its availability to the animal eating the diet, are critical
characteristics influencing the nutritional value of any diet.
Diets rich in energy, provide adequate nutrition and promote rapid
growth to higher levels than diets that are deficient in energy.
Therefore, determining the energy within a diet, and altering
energy availability by using glucanase enzymes, provides an
important set of tools to improve animal nutrition and therefore
animal performance.
[0257] To demonstrate the use of glucanase enzymes in broiler
production, metabolizable energy and nutrient digestibility, male
broilers were fed with alternative feed ingredients (wheat, barley
and low-fat DDGS) with or without supplemental glucanase. Broiler
body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion rate were
determined and feed glucanase enzyme was evaluated.
[0258] Dietary Treatments and Procedures
[0259] Day-old male broiler were obtained from a commercial
hatchery and randomly allocated to 64 battery cages in groups of
10. Experimental diets were fed from 0 to 28 d of ages. Initial
group weights were obtained and equalized amongst the treatments.
Feed disappearance and body weight were measured weekly (7, 14, 21,
and 28 d of age) to calculate live performance parameters (feed
consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio). In
addition, excreta were collected twice to determine apparent
metabolizable energy (AME) of the diets at 14 and 29 d of age.
[0260] Dietary treatments were fed in a 4.times.2 factorial design
and further delineated below. Four different diets (corn/soybean
meal based, corn/wheat based, corn/barley based, and corn/LF-DDGS
based diets) and two levels of glucanase (with or without) were
fed. Diets were formulated to be isocaloric and all nutrients, with
the exception of energy, were formulated to meet or exceed the
nutrient requirements. The enzyme treatments had the enzyme added
on top of the diet. In addition, titanium dioxide was added to the
diets as an indigestible marker to determine AME and nutrient
digestibility. Table 6 describes dietary treatments.

[0263] Room Setup
[0264] Prior to bird placement, lighting and temperature in the
battery cage rooms were set 48 hours in advance. Wire bottoms were
added to the battery cages until day 0 to 4. Unless noted in the
schedule, for collection periods, excreta pans were scrapped on a
regular basis to avoid any pest and odor issues.
[0265] Lighting Program
[0266] A 23 light:1 dark with a lighting intensity of 3.0 ft.sup.2
was implemented from placement until 7 d of age. A 23 light: 1 dark
lighting schedule was implemented from 8-21d with a lighting
intensity of 1.0 ft candles. A 23 light: 1 dark lighting schedule
was implemented from 22-28 d of age with a lighting intensity of
0.3 ft candles.
[0267] Special Instructions
[0268] Wire bottoms were placed into all battery cages prior to the
start ofthe experiment or day-old chicks will fall through the
floors. Wire bottoms were removed at d 7. In addition, cage doors
were modified to accommodate smaller birds from 0 to 7 d of
age.
[0269] Any mortality was not replaced.
[0270] All diets were fed in mash form. Mix sheets were
forthcoming.
[0271] To avoid cross contamination of the enzyme, separate feed
scoops were needed. Table 7 describes experimental timeline.

[0272] FIG. 26 illustrates the body weight gain (BWG) during the
28-day poultry feeding trial. Referring to FIG. 26, four different
diets, corn/soybean meal based, corn/barley based, corn/wheat
based, and corn/LF-DDGS based, with (+) or without (-) a glucanase
were tested. Still referring to FIG. 26, average of BWG with or
without glucanase across the four diets was shown. It was observed,
that body wait gain was on average higher in chickens fed with the
diets that included a glucanase.
[0273] FIG. 27 illustrates the changes in poultry BWG per time
interval during 28 day feeding trial. Referring to FIG. 27, initial
group weights were obtained and equalized amongst the treatments.
BWG was measured weekly (7, 14, 21, and 28 d of age) for broilers
feed using the corn/LF-DDGS diet with (+) or without (-) a
glucanase. Still referring to FIG. 27, it was observed across all
treatments that body wait gain in chickens fed with the glucanase
including diets was higher than in chickens fed with diets without
glucanase.
[0274] FIG. 28 illustrates feed consumption during the 28-day
poultry feeding trial using two different diets (corn/barley based
and corn/LF-DDGS based) with (+) or without (-) a glucanase.
Referring to FIG. 28, it was found that feed consumption was higher
for the diets that included a glucanase.
[0275] FIG. 29 illustrates the feed conversion rate (FCR) during
the 28-day poultry feeding trial with two different diets
(corn/barley based and corn/LF-DDGS based diets) with (+) or
without (-) a glucanase. The feed conversion rate refers to the
feed consumption required for gaining the body weight for a tested
animal. The FCR is calculated by dividing the value of feed
consumption by the value of body weight gain. Referring to FIG. 29,
it was observed that the FCR was lower for the diets that included
a glucanase. These data indicates that diets that included a
glucanase facilitated digestion and feed consumption in the tested
animals.
Example 16. The Use of Glucanase Enzymes for Broiler Live
Performance
[0276] To demonstrate the effect of glucanase enzymes in broiler
production, 936 male broilers were feed with varies glucanase
concentrations in a 17 day battery trial. Birds were weighed at day
17. Feed composition includes corn, soybean meal and fat (soybean
oil). Table 8 describes experimental details of the 17 day battery
trial.

[0277] Referring to FIG. 30, the inclusion of beta-glucanase in
treatments 7 (Trt_7) and 8 (Trt_8) significantly (p-value <0.05)
increased body weight gain compared to the positive control (PC),
negative control (NC), and treatments 3 (Trt_3) and 4 (Trt_4),
which contained a commercial NSPase inclusion. The glucanase
inclusion in treatments 5 (Trt_5), 6 (Trt_6), and 9 (Trt_9)
produced intermediate results.
