Patent number: 6429000Abstract: Pectin degrading enzymes derived from or endogeneous to Bacillus licheniformis or other Bacillus species which are at least 99% homologous to Bacillus licheniformis based on aligned 16S rDNA sequences have optimum activity at pH higher than 8. The pectin degrading enzymes belongs to the enzyme classes pectate lyases (EC 4.2.2.2), pectin lyases (EC 4.2.2.10) and polygalacturonases (EC 3.2.1.15) and are useful in industrial processes under alkaline conditions such as in textile processing and as an active ingredient eg in laundry detergents and hard surface cleaning products.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Novozymes A/SInventors: Lene Nonboe Andersen, Martin Schülein, Niels Erik Krebs Lange, Mads Eskelund Bjørnvad, Kirk Schnorr
