Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for preventing, reducing, or removing biofilms and microbial growth from liquid solutions, as well as from surfaces, such as fabrics, textiles or hard surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for preventing, reducing, or removing malodor and microbial growth from liquid solutions, as well as from surfaces, such as fabrics, textiles or hard surfaces.

Abstract: Home care compositions including a surfactant and an amylase. The amylase includes a recombinant, non-naturally-occurring variant of a parent alpha-amylase, the variant alpha-amylase having at least about 80% identity to SEQ ID NO: 5 and having amino acid substitutions at positions 415 and/or 51 with respect to SEQ ID NO: 5.

Abstract: Home care compositions including a surfactant and an amylase.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods relating to maltopentaose/maltohexaose-forming ?-amylases. The variant ?-amylases are useful, for example, for starch liquefaction and saccharification, for cleaning starchy stains in laundry, dishwashing, and other applications, for textile processing (e.g., desizing), in animal feed for improving digestibility, and for baking and brewing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for preventing, reducing, or removing biofilms.

Abstract: Disclosed are variant ?-amylases having mutations that improve enzyme stability in the presence of chelants, methods of designing such variants, and methods of use, of the resulting variants. The variant ?-amylases are particularly useful, for use in cleaning and desizing composition that include significant amounts of chelants.

Abstract: An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition comprising a variant ?-amylase wherein the variant ?-amylase comprises amino acid substitution(s) selected from the group consisting of: i) a mutation at position 91 and one or more mutation(s) at an amino acid residue at the base of the ?-amylase TIM barrel structure, defined as residues 6, 7, 40, 96, 98, 100, 229, 230, 231, 262, 263, 285, 286, 287, 288, 322, 323, 324, 325, 362, 363 and 364; and/or ii) a mutation at position 172 and a mutation in position 288 or 324; and/or iii) Y364L referring to SEQ ID NO: 1 for numbering.
