Abstract
Novel mannanases may be derived from eg Bacillus subtilis strain 168 or may be encoded by polynucleotide molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The mannanases are alkaline and are useful e.g. in cleaning compositions, for modifying plant material, and for treatment of cellulosic fibres.
Claims19
An isolated mannanase which is
- (a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or
- (b) a polypeptide which has an amino acid sequence which has at least 90% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or
- (c) a fragment of SEQ ID NO:2 that has mannanase activity.
