The present invention relates to enzyme compositions comprising components selected from the group consisting of a cellobiohydrolase I, a cellobiohydrolase II, an endoglucanase I, an endoglucanase II, and a [beta]-glucosidase. The present invention also relates to methods for degrading or converting a cellulosic material, comprising: treating the cellulosic material with such an enzyme composition. The present invention also relates to methods for producing a fermentation product, comprising: (a) saccharifying a cellulosic material with such an enzyme composition; (b) fermenting the saccharified cellulosic material with one or more (several) fermenting microorganisms to produce the fermentation product; and (c) recovering the fermentation product from the fermentation. The present invention further relates to methods of fermenting a cellulosic material, comprising: fermenting the cellulosic material with one or more (several) fermenting microorganisms, wherein the cellulosic material is saccharified with such
