Publication number: 20120003700Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide comprising an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide having alpha-amylase activity, the polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity with amino acids 22 to 450 of SEQ ID NO: 4; b) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity with the polypeptide encoded by the amylase encoding part of the polynucleotide inserted into a plasmid present in the E. coli host deposited under the Budapest Treaty with DSMZ under accession number DSM 15334; c) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence which has at least 70% identity with the sequence shown from position 68 to 1417 in SEQ ID NO: 3; and d) a fragment of (a), (b) or (c) that has alpha-amylase activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2011Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicant: Novozymes A/SInventors: Tang Lan, Wu Wenping, Junxin Duan, Pia Francke Johannesen

Patent number: 7666650Abstract: The inventors have identified amylases in fungal strains of Valsaria and found that the amylase can increase the shelf life of baked products. Particularly, the novel amylase in combination with a maltogenic amylase further improves the softness of bread crumb without having detrimental effects on elasticity.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: NovoZymes A/SInventors: Liu Ye, Tang Lan, Tina Spendler, Mary Ann Stringer
