THE INVENTION
Appellants claim a detergent composition comprising
recited amounts of at least one surfactant and a fungal
cellulase composition, wherein the fungal cellulase
composition contains at least 20 wt% of one or more

protein in the cellulase composition and is free of all exo-
cellobiohydrolase (CBH) I type components. Claim 1 is
illustrative and reads as follows:
1. A detergent composition comprising:
(a) from about 1 to 95 weight percent of a surfactant or
a mixture of surfactants based on the weight of the detergent
compsition; and
(b) from about 0.01 to about 5 weight percent of a fungal
cellulase composition based on the weight of the detergent
composition wherein said cellulase composition comprises at
