Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to processes employing polypeptides having colanic acid-degrading activity. The processes generally involve contacting a biological material with a polypeptide capable of digesting colanic acid. Additional process steps, such as chromatographic separation steps, are also described.
Claims32
A process for digesting colanic acid in a biological material, the process comprising contacting the biological material with a polypeptide capable of digesting colanic acid.
A process for the removal of endotoxin from an aqueous composition containing bacterial macromolecules, the process comprising digesting colanic acid in the aqueous composition and thereafter combining the aqueous composition with a chromatographic material to separate endotoxin from the bacterial macromolecule.
