Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having lactonohydrolase activity and isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides. The present invention further relates to methods for preventing microbial biofilm development.
Claims13
An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having lactonohydrolase activity, selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% identity with amino acids 18 to 400 of SEQ ID NO. 2;
- (b) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 95% homology with nucleotides 90 to 1238 of SEQ ID NO. 1;
- and
- (c) a fragment of (a) or (b), that encodes a polypeptide fragment having lactonohydrolase activity.
