Abstract
Lipolytic enzymes with high activity at alkaline pH in the absence of Ca can be obtained from filamentous fungi of the genera Gliocladium, Verticillium and Trichophaea and that the lipolytic enzymes are effective for improving the effect of detergents. The lipolytic enzymes have a good washing performance, as expressed by the hydrolysis of oil on textile swatches. The amino acid sequences of the lipolytic enzymes are highly homologous.
