An expressing system which enables a large amount of production of a protein in Humicola, in particular, and particularly host-vector systems and a process for producing a protein using the systems, wherein an expression vector comprising the regulator sequences, i.e., the promoter, the signal sequence, and the terminator, of the cellulase NCE1 gene or NCE2 gene derived from is constructed and used. The expression vector enables highly efficient production of cellulase NCE4, for example, in at a rate as high as about 4.5 g or more per one liter of culture.

A method for preventing redeposition of desorbed dyes to pre-dyed fabrics or its garments, which comprises adding colloid at the treatment of pre-dyed fabrics or its garments. A dye antiredeposition agent to be used at the treatment of pre-dyed fabrics or its garments, which contains a colloid in an amount of 0.4 g or more per 500 avicelase units of cellulose. The present invention has rendered possible simple and efficient prevention of redeposition of dyes at the time of the treatment of pre-dyed fabrics or its garments. Especially, when an enzyme is used in the treatment, adverse influenced upon the enzyme is characteristically small.

A livestock feed contains, as sugar component, inulooligosaccharides (oligosaccharides consisting of one to five fructose units linked together through .beta.-1,2 linkage) in an amount of 0.1 to 10.0%. This is effective in markedly reducing scours and loose passage often observed in weaned livestock and poultry and thus promoting their growth.
