Abstract: Provided is a process for the production of a dyed fabric using enzyme aggregates. In particular, provided is a process that comprises a step of providing a woven fabric that comprises a base layer and an additional layer which is located on at least one side of the fabric, wherein the yarns of the additional layer comprise fibers that are at least partially dyed, and a step of contacting the woven fabric with enzyme aggregates such as cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs), to remove at least part of the dye from at least the yarns of said additional layer. The disclosure also provides a fabric obtained with the process and garments including the fabric.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for digestion of sludge in water purification, which method comprises the steps: providing an enzyme mixture capable of digesting natural polymeric materials, adding the enzyme mixture to an aqueous sludge suspension, and thereafter, adding at least one species of fermenting bacteria to the suspension, thereby fermenting the resulting suspension.

Abstract: A Triqonopsis variabilis D-amino acid oxidase in substantially pure form and active against cephalosporin C is disclosed. This D-amino acid oxidase is isolated from Trigonopsis variabilis by a method which is performed in three steps, namely:(a) acidifying and heating a crude cell extract of Trigonopsis variabilis to obtain a precipitate and supernatant fraction;(b) treating said supernatant fraction obtained in step (a) with sufficient ammonium sulfate to obtain a second precipitate, said second precipitate containing the D-amino acid oxidase of claim 1; and(c) resuspending the precipitate obtained in step (b) and collecting the D-amino acid oxidase by isoelectric precipitation.
