The present invention provides methods and compositions comprising at least one perhydrolase enzyme for cleaning and other applications. In some particularly preferred embodiments, the present invention provides methods and compositions for generation of peracids. The present invention finds particular use in applications involving cleaning, bleaching and disinfecting.

Perhydrolase

The present invention relates to a polynucleotide encoding an enzyme having carboxylesterase [E.C.3.1.1.1] activity.

Polynucleotides encoding enantioselective carboxylesterases and methods of making same

The present invention provides a polynucleotide or a pair of polynucleotides encoding an enzyme having nitrile hydratase (NHase) [E.C. 4.2.1.84] activity. Furthermore, a vector and a host comprising the disclosed polynucleotide or pair of polynucleotides and methods for the production of the same are provided. Moreover, the invention relates to a pair of polypeptides or a fusion protein having NHase activity, an antibody specifically binding to the pair of polypeptides or fusion protein, a primer or probe, which specifically hybridizes under stringent conditions to the disclosed polynucleotide or either one of the pair of polynucleotides, a composition comprising the polynucleotide or pair of polynucleotides, the pair of polypeptides or fusion protein, the antibody and/or one or more primers or probes of the invention and a method for the production of amides comprising the enantioselective conversion of nitriles.

Group of novel enantioselective microbial nitrile hydratases with broad substrate specificity

The present invention is concerned with the preparation of novel nitrile hydratases. These latter are preferably obtained from nonculturable organisms by means of a PCR-based screening, in metagenome DNA libraries, using special degenerate primers.
