Patent number: 10041052Abstract: The present invention relates to a phytase which has at least 74% identity to a phytase derived from Citrobacter braakii and comprises at least one alteration as compared to this phytase. These phytase variants have amended, preferably improved, properties, such as thermostability, temperature profile, pH profile, specific activity, performance in animal feed, reduced protease sensibility, and/or an amended glycosylation pattern. The invention also relates to DNA encoding these phytases, methods of their production, as well as the use thereof, e.g., in animal feed and animal feed additives.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Novozymes A/SInventors: Leonardo De Maria, Carsten Andersen, Lars Kobberoee Skov, Mikael Blom Soerensen

Patent number: 7867743Abstract: The invention relates to a phytase derived from Citrobacter braakii and related phytases. The phytases belong to the acid histidine phosphatase family, are acid-stable, of an excellent performance in animal feed, of a high specificity towards the substrate phytate, and expectedly of a high specific activity. The invention also relates to the corresponding DNA, the recombinant and wild-type production of the phytases, as well as the use thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2005Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Novozymes A/SInventors: Monica Takamiya Wik, Carsten Sjøholm, Henrik Frisner, Allan Noergaard, Mikael Blom Sørensen

Patent number: 7186817Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having phytase activity, recombinant DNA sequences encoding such polypeptides, methods of producing such polypeptides, and the use of the polypeptides in transgenic plants. The invention discloses polypeptides having affinity for the substrate phytate (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 myo-inositol-hexakisphosphate, phytic acid), comprising an amino acid sequence as described by the invention. Furthermore, the invention discloses DNA fragments encoding the polypeptides, and cDNA fragments encoding the polypeptides. The polypeptides of the invention may, for example, be used as an additive in animal feeds, an additive in food for human consumption, or to extract proteins from rice bran. The invention also concerns a transgenic plant or part thereof, wherein the plant or part thereof has been genetically modified to comprise a polypeptide as defined by the invention.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2001Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: Forskningscenter RisoInventors: Søren Rasmussen, Mikael Blom Sørensen, Katja Salomon Johansen
