The present invention relates to a new wild-type lipase, its nucleic acid sequences and the amino acid sequences thereof. This new lipase shows washing performance in the form of wild-type. The present invention also relates to the method for producing the lipase and the uses of the lipase in baking.

Detergent composition comprising a polypeptide having lipase activity and polynucleotide encoding same

Polypeptides having lipase activity and polynucleotides encoding same

Attaching a peptide extension to the C-terminal amino acid of a lipase reduces the tendency to form odor. This may lead to lipase variants with a reduced odor generation when washing textile soiled with fat which includes relatively short-chain fatty acyl groups (e.g., up to C) such as dairy stains containing butter fat or tropical oils such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil.

Attaching a peptide extension to the C-terminal amino acid of a lipase re-duces the tendency to form odor. This may lead to lipase variants with a reduced odor generation when washing textile soiled with fat which includes relatively short-chain fatty acyl groups (e.g. up to C8) such as dairy stains containing butter fat or tropical oils such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil.

The present invention relates to methods of reducing malodor in laundry, comprising contacting laundry with an enzyme having lysostaphin activity; and compositions comprising a surfactant and an enzyme having lysostaphin activity.
