Abstract
The present invention relates to transglutaminases and transglutaminase preparations obtained from lower fungi belonging to the class Oomycetes. Unprecedented high-level expression is achievable by growing these coenocytium forming organisms, especially the strains Pythium sp., (or ), and . Arecombinant transglutaminase has been cloned and expressed, the enzyme and enzyme preparations being useful for cross-linking proteins, e.g. in flour, baked products, meat products, fish products, cosmetics, cheese, milk products, gelled food products and leather finishing, or as a glutaminase, e.g. in bread and other baked glutein-containing food products.
