Abstract: The present disclosure lies in the field of enzyme technology. The present disclosure relates to amylases which may be used in particular with regard to use in detergents and cleaning products, all sufficiently similar amylases with a correspondingly similar sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 1 or SEQ ID NO. 2 and the nucleic acids coding them. The present disclosure further relates to their preparation as well as the method for using these amylases, their use as such and products containing them, in particular detergents and cleaning products.

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.
