  • Patent number: 7723091
    Abstract: Enzymes of a particular class, characterized by the ability to cleave a linkage that effects release of a cell-surface protein or carbohydrate, which does not contain an anti-infection agent, display significant anti-infectious activity. Upon oral administration, these enzymes are effective, for example, in the treatment of digestive tract infections in humans and in animals. In the latter, there are benefits of significantly improved growth rate, feed efficiency, and overall health.

  • Patent number: 6162473
    Abstract: A method is provided to increase the efficiency with which monogastric animals utilize low caloric content dietary rations. Addition of a hemicellulase enzyme, such as mannanase, to dietary rations that are not supplemented with concentrated fat, or which contain reduced fat content, increases the efficiency with which monogastric animals utilize the rations.

  • Patent number: 5275945
    Abstract: Alkaline proteases that are stable in the presence of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates can be obtained from bacteria isolated from soil and by other means. The soils are collected from an alkaline environment which has been exposed to extremely high pH and/or detergent contamination. The proteases are at least twice as stable as Esperase.TM. when stored in commercial liquid detergents.
