Abstract: Methods and compositions for controlling microbial growth on a surface are disclosed. A method includes exposing the surface to be treated to electromagnetic radiation, the electromagnetic radiation being emitted from one or more electromagnetic radiation sources towards the surface, wherein the surface is provided with one or more photosensitizers being activatable by electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation emitted from the one or more electromagnetic radiation sources has a wavelength in a range between 400 nm and 800 nm, and the one or more photosensitizers exhibit antimicrobial efficacy upon activation by electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to agent compositions, in particular washing and cleaning agents, that contain a protease from a bacterial strain of the species Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and to said proteases themselves. The invention further relates to cleaning methods in which said agents are used, and to uses of said agents. The invention further relates to the manufacture and use of these proteases themselves.
