Abstract
The present invention relates to xyloglucanases belonging to family 44 of glycosyl hydrolases and having a relative xyloglucanase activity of at least 30% between pH 5 and pH 8 are derived from the genus Paenibacillus, especially from a strain of Paenibacillus polymyxa or Paenibacillus sp. The xyloglucanases exhibit high performance in conventional detergent compositions.
Claims33

- (a) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical with one or more of the sequences of amino acids 40-559 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, 4 or 6;
- or
- (b) a polypeptide encoded by a DNA sequence that hybridizes to one or more of nucleotides 121-1677 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, 3 or 5, under high stringency conditions, wherein the high stringency conditions are defined as hybridization in 5×SSC at 45° C. and washing in 2×SSC at 70° C.
