The present invention relates to pectate lyases comprising the amino acid sequence Asn Leu Asn Ser Arg Val Pro (NLNSRVP) (SEQ ID NO: 2) belonging to Family 1 of polysaccharide lyases have good performance in industrial processes under neutral or alkaline conditions such as laundering and textile processing. The pectate lyase may be derivable from Bacillus species.

Pectate lyases

Novel mannanases comprising e.g. an amino acid sequence as shown in positions 31-330 of SEQ ID NO:2 or their homologues may be derived from e.g. Bacillus sp. I633, or may be encoded by polynucleotide molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 from nucleotide 91 to nucleotide 990, polynucleotide molecules that encode a polypeptide that is at least 65% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 from amino acid residue 31 to amino acid residue 330, or degenerate nucleotide sequences thereof. The mannanases are alkaline and are useful e.g. in cleaning compositions, in a fracturing fluid useful to fracture a subterranean formation, for modifying plant material, and for treatment of cellulosic fibers.

Mannanases

Pectin degrading enzymes derived from or endogeneous to or other Bacillus species which are at least 99% homologous to based on aligned 16S rDNA sequences have optimum activity at pH higher than 8. The pectin degrading enzymes belongs to the enzyme classes pectate lyases (EC 4.2.2.2), pectin lyases (EC 4.2.2.10) and polygalacturonases (EC 3.2.1.15) and are useful in industrial processes under alkaline conditions such as in textile processing and as an active ingredient eg in laundry detergents and hard surface cleaning products.

Pectin degrading enzymes from Bacillus licheniformis

A novel pectate lyase belonging to a novel family of polysaccharide lyases has good performance in industrial processes under neutral or alkaline conditions such as laundering and textile processing. The pectate lyase may be derivable from Bacillus species.

The present invention is directed to isolated enzymes exhibiting rhamnogalacturonan hydrolase activity, to nucleic acids encoding such enzymes, and to methods of producing such enzymes. The present invention is also related to detergent and animal feed compositions, compositions and methods for treating cellulosic materials, such as fibers, compositions and methods for preparing fruit or vegetable products, and compositions and methods for preparing wine and juice.

Rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases

Endoglucanases

A novel group of pectate lyases comprising the amino acid sequence Asn Leu Asn Ser Arg Val Pro (NLNSRVP) belonging to Family 1 of polysaccharide lyases have good performance in industrial processes under neutral or alkaline conditions such as laundering and textile processing. The pectate lyase may be derivable from Bacillus species.

The invention relates to a method for modifying animal feed, in particular animal feed containing plant material such as soybean, by adding to the animal feed at least one galactanase enzym, to a method for obtaining a DNA sequence encoding a galactanase enzyme or a portion thereof, and to isolated polynucleotide molecules encoding polypeptides having galactanase activity.

Bacterial galactanases and use thereof

Polymethylgalacturonases belonging to family 28 of polysaccharide lyases and comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:1 show good performance in industrial processes such as laundering and textile processing.

Enzymatic treatment method

The present invention relates to microbial pectate lyases, more specifically to microbial enzymes exhibiting pectate lyase activity as their major enzymatic activity in the neutral and alkaline pH ranges, to a method of producing such an enzyme, and to methods for using such enzymes in the textile, detergent and cellulose fiber processing industries.

An isolated nucleic acid constructs encoding cellulytic enzymes derived from a strain of,recombinant vectors and host cells comprising such constructs, and methods for obtaining cellulytic enzymes.

DNA constructs and methods of producing cellulytic enzymes

The present invention relate to microbial pectate lyase, more specifically to microbial enzyme exhibiting pectate lyase activity as their major enzymatic activity in neutral and alkaline pH ranges, to a method of producing such an enzyme, and a method for using such enzymes in the textile, detergent, and cellulose fiber processing industries.

An enzyme preparation comprising an enzyme having endo-&bgr;-1,4-glucanase activity obtainable from or endogeneous to a strain belonging to the genus Saccharothrix such as,IFO 14444; an isolated polynucleotide (DNA) molecule encoding an enzyme or enzyme core (the catalytically active domain of the enzyme) exhibiting endo-&bgr;-1,4-glucanase activity selected from (a) polynucleotide molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1 from nucleotide 676 to nucleotide 1470, (b) polynucleotide molecules that encode a polypeptide that is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 from amino acid residue 226 to amino acid residue 490, and (c) degenerate nucleotide sequences of (a) or (b), the expressed endoglucanase and the enzyme preparation being useful in a detergent or fabric softener composition or in the textile industry for improving the properties of cellulosic fibres or fabric or for providing a stone-washed look of denim.

Endo-B-1,4-glucanases from saccharothrix

A novel group of pectate lyases comprising the amino acid sequence Asn Leu Asn Ser Arg Val Pro (NLNSRVP) belonging to Family 1 of polysaccharide lyases have good performance in industrial processes under neutral or alkaline conditions such as laundering and textile processing.
