The inventors have identified polypeptides having lipase activity in anaerobic thermophilic bacteria. Accordingly, the invention provides a process for hydrolyzing an ester bond in a substrate, which comprises treating the substrate with a particular lipase (a polypeptide having lipase activity). The invention also provides a lipase for use in the process and a polynucleotide encoding the lipase.

Lipases from thermophilic anaerobes

The present invention relates to a novel alkali stable amylase obtained from Thermoalcalibacter bogoriae, an enzyme composition comprising said amylase, and the use of said enzyme and enzyme composition for a number of industrial applications.

Alkaline stable amylase from Thermoalcalibacter

The invention relates to novel thermostable pullulanases obtainable from Pyrodictium.

Pyrodictium pullulanase

A process for the aerobic biological break-down of substances having low water solubility in an aqueous medium, and a microorganism, Bacillus thermoleovorans strain DSM 10561 and an enzyme obtained therefrom are disclosed. The microorganism is suitable for use in the disclosed process wherein the bioavailability of the substances to be broken down is raised by setting the temperature of the aqueous medium to 45 degrees Celisus and higher. The microorganism is used to break-down the substances having low water solubility.

Aerobic biodegradation of aromatic compounds having low water solubility

The present invention relates to an amylase from the genus Pyrodictium, specifically to an amylase from Pyrodictium abyssi and more specifically to an amylase from Pyrodictium abyssi, DSM 6158, which has amylase activity optimum at temperatures in the range 110-120.degree. C., determined at pH 5.5 with starch as a substrate.
