Cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes that include dispersins and proteases. Said compositions may be used in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic stains, and for removal or reduction of components of organic matter.

A method of facilitating stain removal from a fabric including treating the fabric directly with bacterial spores prior to a laundry process; and subsequently subjecting the fabric to a laundry process.

Disclosed are compositions and methods relating to variant alpha-amylases. The variant alpha-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.

A mannanase at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, a polynucleotide encoding the mannanase, an expression construct comprising the polynucleotide, and a host cell comprising the polynucleotide or the expression construct.

The disclosure is directed to cleaning compositions, methods of making the cleaning compositions, and methods of using the cleaning compositions. The cleaning compositions comprise an enzyme composition, a nonionic surfactant, and a quaternary amine. Preferably, the enzyme compositions included in the cleaning compositions comprise a cellulase, an AA9 polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity, a hemicellulase, an esterase, an expansin, a laccase, a ligninolytic enzyme, a pectinase, a peroxidase, a protease, a swollenin, or a combination or mixture thereof. The compositions are useful for degradation of bacterial cellulose.

The present invention relates to esterases, more particularly to esterase variants having improved activity and/or improved thermostability compared to the esterase of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the uses thereof for degrading polyester containing material, such as plastic products. The esterases of the invention are particularly suited to degrade polyethylene terephthalate, and material containing polyethylene terephthalate.

The invention relates to subtilase variants, compositions comprising the variants, and methods of using the variants and compositions, e.g. for laundry or hard surface cleaning such as dishwashing.
