Patent number: 9023620Abstract: The present invention relates to enzyme preparations consisting essentially of an enzyme which has cellulytic activity, which perform very well in industrial applications such as laundry compositions, for biopolishing of newly manufactured textiles, for providing an abraded look of cellulosic fabric or garment, and for treatment of paper pulp. Further, the invention relates to DNA constructs encoding such enzymes, a method for providing a gene encoding for such enzymes, a method of producing the enzymes, enzyme preparations containing such enzymes, and the use of these enzymes for a number of industrial applications.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Novozymes A/SInventors: Martin Schulein, Lene Nonboe Andersen, Soren Flensted Lassen, Markus Sakari Kauppinen, Lene Lange, Ruby Ilum Nielsen, Shinobu Takagi, Michiko Ihara
