Claims15
1-18. (canceled)
An isolated alpha-amylase, comprising an A-domain of a calcium-sensitive alpha-amylase which has at least 70% and less than 100% sequence identity with any of the A-domains of SEQ ID NOS:
- 1-12, 29, and 30, a B-domain of a calcium-insensitive alpha-amylase, and a C-domain of a calcium-sensitive alpha-amylase, wherein the alpha-amylase has alpha-amylase activity.
An isolated alpha-amylase, comprising an A-domain of a calcium-sensitive alpha-amylase, a B-domain of a calcium-insensitive alpha-amylase, and a C-domain of a calcium-sensitive alpha-amylase which has at least 70% and less than 100% sequence identity with any of the C-domains of SEQ ID NOS:
- 1-12, 29, and 30, wherein the alpha-amylase has alpha-amylase activity.
A host cell comprising the nucleic acid construct of claim 15.
