The present invention further relates to polypeptides having galactanase activity, nucleotides encoding the polypeptide, as well as methods of producing the polypeptides.
Claims18
A detergent composition comprising a polypeptide having endo-beta-1,6-galactanase activity, a surfactant, and a detergent adjunct ingredient, wherein
- (a) the polypeptide having endo-beta-1,6-galactanase activity comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 94% sequence identity to the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (b) the detergent adjunct ingredient is selected from the group consisting of builders, flocculating aid, chelating agents, dye transfer inhibitors, enzymes, enzyme stabilizers, enzyme inhibitors, catalytic materials, bleaching system, bleach activators, hydrogen peroxide, sources of hydrogen peroxide, preformed peracids, polymeric dispersing agents, clay soil removal/anti-redeposition agents, brighteners, suds suppressors, dyes, perfumes, structure elasticizing agents, fabric softeners, carriers, hydrotropes, builders and co-builders, fabric hueing agents, anti-foaming agents, dispersants, processing aids, and/or pigments;
- and
- (c) the detergent composition is a stabilized liquid detergent, a powder detergent or a granule detergent;
- Wherein the composition reduces the amount of deposition of dirt onto a Brevundimonas biofilm swatch in a Tergometer wash assay compared to the amount deposited by an identical composition lacking the endo-beta-1,6-galactanase.
