The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, kits and apparatuses for stabilizing membranes, membrane proteins, and/or membranes containing membrane proteins using hydrophobin.

Stabilization of biomimetic membranes

This invention discloses novel methods of making fermented food products such as yogurt. It also discloses novel Lactobacillus bulgaricus organisms for making fermented food products which are conditionally sensitive, that is, operate to metabolize a desired compound normally under the processing conditions for fermented food products but slow or decrease in activity beyond what is normal under the routine storage temperatures for the fermented food products. Such fermented food products exhibits improved shelf life and long-term taste.

Production of fermented food products

There are described, cleaning compositions comprising proteolytic enzymes having enhanced thermal and/or alkaline stability. Particularly, the compositions comprise a Bacillus sp. subtilisin having enhanced thermal stability and alkaline stability. The composition may be useful for any cleaning application such as laundry cleaning, household cleaning (dishcare, hard surface cleaning) or industrial cleaning.

Cleaning compositions comprising the subtilisin enzyme encoded by the

Production of fermented food

An improved process for removing insoluble nitrogen-containing compounds from cured tobacco uses alkali or a combination of protease and nonprotease depolymerase, rather than simple protease extraction. The method of the invention is more efficient and results in a more effective extraction of protein.

Method for protein removal from tobacco

The present invention relates to a novel thermostable alpha amylase having a low requirement for calcium ions, and a novel Bacillus microorganism that produces it extracellularly. This amylase is useful in high temperature, low calcium applications, e.g., in detergent compositions.
