Disclosed is a modified polypeptide having mannanase activity and a use thereof.

Isolated and/or purified polypeptides and nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius are provided. Further provided are methods of at least partially degrading, cleaving, or removing polysaccharides, lignocellulose, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, starch, chitin, polyhydroxybutyrate, heteroxylans, glycosides, xylan-, glucan-, galactan-, or mannan-decorating groups using isolated and/or purified polypeptides and nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius.

The present compositions and methods relate to a beta-mannanase from Bacillus hemicellulosilyticus, polynucleotides encoding the beta-mannanase, and methods of make and/or use thereof. Formulations containing the beta-mannanase are suitable for use in hydrolyzing lignocellulosic biomass substrates, especially those comprising a measurable level of galactoglucomannan (GGM) and/or glucomannan (GM).

The present invention relates to polypeptides having mannanase activity, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding modules, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding modules. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding modules.

The present invention concerns a detergent composition comprising a surfactant and a multi enzyme composition comprising at least three enzymes selected from the group consisting of: protease, amylase, lipase, mannanase, pectate lyase and cellulase. Further disclosed is the use of the detergent composition and methods, wherein the compositions are used.

Compositions suitable for oral administration to an animal comprising at least one immune stress-reducing enzyme in an amount effective to decrease the level of positive acute phase protein in an animal, increase the level of negative acute phase protein in an animal, and/or improve animal growth performance is provided, as are methods using such compositions. The compositions include animal feed compositions, liquid compositions other than animal feed, and solid compositions other than animal feed.

The present disclosure relates to endo-beta-mannanases from Paenibacillus and Bacillus spp., polynucleotides encoding such endo-beta-mannanases, compositions containing such mannanases, and methods of use thereof. Compositions containing such endo-beta-mannanases are suitable for use as detergents and cleaning fabrics and hard surfaces, as well as a variety of other industrial applications.
