  • Polypeptide Variants
    Publication number: 20230220366
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel lactase variants having improved properties relative to the parent lactase, such as decreased galactose inhibition or increased galactose inhibition. The variants of the invention are suitable for production of dairy products, such as low-lactose dairy products or lactose-free dairy products. The present invention also relates to isolated DNA sequences encoding the variants, expression vectors, host cells, and methods for producing and using the lactase variants of the invention.

  • COLD-ACTIVE ALPHA-AMYLASE
    Publication number: 20170044510
    Abstract: There is provided a novel cold-active alpha-amylase identified by a functional metagenomic approach expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. Functional, biochemical analysis has documented that the alpha-amylase is cold-adapted with a temperature optimum at 10° C. to 20° C. and that the enzyme is active over a broad pH range. Sequence analysis has indicated that the alpha-amylase is related to Clostridia, and has revealed classical characteristics of cold-adapted enzymes.
