Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having dextranaseactivity, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
Claims20
A method for reducing viscosity in a sugar solution comprising contacting the sugar solution with an isolated polypeptide having dextranase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide has at least 92% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids 17 to 594 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
A recombinant microbial host cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having dextranase activity, wherein the polynucleotide is operably linked to one or more heterologous control sequences that direct the production of the polypeptide in the host cell and wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide has at least 92% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids 17 to 594 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
