Abstract
The present invention concerns lipolytic enzymes naturally produced by a fungus of the species Fusarium solanii. The lipolytic enzymes include two lipases and a cutinase. The present invention concerns a biologically pure culture of Fusarium solanii producing these lipolytic enzymes and in particular a biologically pure culture of Fusarium solanii var. minus T.92.637/1. The present invention concerns also a detergent composition containing these lipolytic enzymes.
