This invention relates to novel detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanase enzymes. The detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanases are useful in laundry and cleaning applications wherein degradation or modification of mannan is desired. The invention also relates to the use of said detergent compositions in laundry and cleaning applications as well as a method for degrading mannan.

Detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanases

The present description is related to the field of protein production. It introduces novel host cells with low protease activity, a novel protease regulator, its use in expression systems and protein production, and a method of producing host cells for protein production.

Methods for controlling protease production

This present disclosure relates to novel detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanase enzymes. The detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanases are useful in laundry and cleaning applications wherein degradation or modification of mannan is desired. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said detergent compositions in laundry and cleaning applications as well as a method for degrading mannan.

The present invention relates to polypeptides having cellulase activity, in particular to variants derived from the 20K-cellulase enzyme. The invention discloses a number of amino acid residue positions important for the properties of the cellulase enzyme and thereby for the stability and/or performance thereof. The novel variants have improved stability compared to the parental cellulase. In particular, the novel variants have good performance in an antigreying application and excellent stability in the presence of a protease in several detergent compositions even in long-term experiments.

Variants of fungal cellulase

Variants of mannanase, compositions including the variants, to methods for their production and to methods of using the variants to degrade and modify mannan containing material.

Mannanase variants

Variants of mannanase, compositions including the variants, to methods for their production to methods of using the variants to degrade and modify mannan containing material.

The invention relates to novel variants of fungal endoglucanases, their production and means for their production. Especially the invention relates to variants ofCel45A. The invention further relates to enzyme preparations and detergent compositions comprising at least one novel variant endoglucanase as well as to processes for treating cellulosic material therewith. The novel variant endoglucanase polypeptides have improved performance in textile applications, especially in biofinishing and biostoning, and in detergent applications, in fabric care and color maintenance, especially in prevention and removal of fuzz and pills, in color care and revival.

Fungal endoglucanase variants, their production and use

The present invention relates to the production of sugar hydrolysates from cellulosic material. The method may be used e.g. for producing fermentable sugars for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic material. Cellulolytic enzymes and their production by recombinant technology is described, as well as uses of the enzymes and enzyme preparations.

Treatment of cellulosic material and enzymes useful therein

Novel fungal endoglucanases Cel5 and Cel12 are disclosed. The endoglucanases are conveniently produced by recombinant technology, and means for their production are described. The endoglucanases are used for treating cellulosic material, especially in textile industry, e.g. in biofinishing or biostoning. They may also be used in detergents, in animal feed and/or in pulp and paper industry, or in hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material for, e.g. bioethanol production.

Fungal endoglucanases, their production and use

The present invention discloses novel polypeptides and enzyme preparations containing them, which enhance the efficiency of the cellulosic degradation even at elevated temperatures. The polypeptides are produced by recombinant technology, and means for their production are described. The novel polypeptides are useful in processing biomass, and in biofuel, starch, textile, detergent, pulp and paper, food, feed or beverage industries. They may also be used e.g. in cleaning the interior of a dishwashing machine or for biofinishing or biostoning. The novel polypeptides are also useful in animal feed.

Proteins for the treatment of cellulosic material

The present invention discloses novel polypeptides and enzyme preparations containing them, which improve the efficiency of cellulose and lignocellulose degradation even at elevated temperatures. The polypeptides can be produced using conventional recombinant DNA technologies. The related polynucleotides, vectors and host cells are also disclosed. The polypeptides and the enzyme preparations containing them are particularly useful in improving the efficiency of cellulose and lignocellulose degradation, in improving the quality of animal feed, in machine dishwashing applications, in detergent compositions, in pulp and paper, textile, food, baking or beverage industry.

Esterases useful in the treatment of cellulosic and lignocellulosic material

The present invention relates to the production of sugar hydrolysates from cellulosic material. The method may be used, for example for producing fermentable sugars for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic material. Cellulolytic enzymes and their production by recombinant technology are described, as well as uses of the enzymes and enzyme preparations.

Method for treating cellulosic material and CBHII/Cel6A enzymes useful therein

The present invention relates to production of fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic material by enzymatic conversion. The fermentable sugars are useful e.g. in the production of bioethanol. Novel polypeptides having endoglucanase activity, polynucleotides encoding them and vectors and host cells containing the polynucleotides are disclosed. A method for treating cellulosic material with the novel endoglucanase as well as uses of the enzymes and enzyme preparations and a method of preparing them are described.
