Abstract: The invention relates to alpha-amylases which comprise an amino acid sequence that, over its entire length, shares at least 70% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1, and to the production and use thereof. Said type of alpha-amylases have a good cleaning performance.

Abstract: A laccase is provided herein. The laccase includes an amino acid sequence which is at least about 70% identical to the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 1, over the entire length thereof. A detergent is also provided herein. The detergent includes the at least one laccase. A method for washing textiles in aqueous solutions is also provided herein. The aqueous solutions include surfactants. The method includes utilizing a solution which includes surfactant and the at least one laccase.

Abstract: A peroxidase, a method for producing the peroxidase, and an agent including at least one peroxidase are provided herein. The peroxidase includes an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity of at least 60% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:1 (Gap MnP1), across the entire length thereof; or has a sequence identity of at least 60% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:2 (Gap MnP2), across the entire length thereof; or has a sequence identity of at least 80% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:3 (Bja LiP), across the entire length thereof; or has a sequence identity of at least 60% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:4 (Bja DyP), across the entire length thereof.

Abstract: An asparaginase enzyme derived from the fungi Basidiomycete, in particular the Basidiomycete is Flammulina velutipes. A method for hydrolysing at least one of L-asparagine or L-glutamine. A method for reducing acrylamide formation in a substance comprising L-asparagine is also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to peroxidases having activity for carotenoids and comprising an amino acid sequence that has at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:1 across its entire length, washing and cleaning agents that contain such peroxidases and the use thereof.

Abstract: An asparaginase enzyme derived from the fungi Basidiomycete, in particular the Basidiomycete is Flammulina velutipes. A method for hydrolysing at least one of L-asparagine or L-glutamine. A method for reducing acrylamide formation in a substance comprising L-asparagine is also described.

Abstract: A membrane reactor for the manufacture of plant protein hydrolysates, the membrane reactor comprising a substrate vessel adapted to provide a plant protein substrate to an enzyme source, a continuously stirred reactor comprising the enzyme source, and an ultrafiltration module comprising a membrane with a molecular cut-off wherein the membrane is adapted to allow passage of the plant protein hydrolysate while retaining the enzyme.
