Provide is a novel system for immobilizing re-combinantly produced proteins by entrapping them in crystals of co-expressed proteins that are capable of self-crystallization . Related compositions and as well as methods of making and using the immobilized proteins are also described.

A method for producing cis-unsaturated fatty acid includes the operations below. (i) An oil-water mixture is provided, wherein the oil-water mixture includes 1 to 10 parts by weight of oil and 1 part by weight of water. (ii) 0.002 to 0.5 parts by weight of a recombinant Candida rugosa lipase 1 (rCRL1) is added into the oil-water mixture. (iii) The oil-water mixture is emulsified. (iv) The emulsified oil-water mixture is hydrolyzed and fatty acid is generated. (v) Oil-water is separated at a temperature of 55° C. to 65° C. and an oil phase layer is extracted. (vi) The cooling and filtering step is performed to obtain cis-unsaturated fatty acid.

The disclosure relates to a series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found at one or more of the Lip1 genes of a plant; plants having these mutations in one or more of their Lip1 genes; and a method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of Lip1 by screening pooled and/or individual plants. The plants disclosed herein exhibit decreased lipase activity without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. Additionally, products produced from the plants disclosed herein exhibit increased hydrolytic and oxidative stability and increased shelf life without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.

The present disclosure is in the field of enzyme technology, in particular the lipolytic action of enzymes on fats and oils, as used, for example, in washing agents or cleaning agents. The present disclosure relates to an agent, in particular washing or cleaning agent, which contains a lipase as defined herein. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a method for the cleaning of textiles and the use of the agent as contemplated herein for the removal of soilings.

Disclosed are compositions and formulations of lipase and methods of treatment and manufacture thereof.

It has been found that esterification of a hydroxy-fatty acid by a lipase can be coupled with oleate hydratase (OHase) generation of that hydroxy-FA from an unsaturated FA with a cis C9-C10 double bond, e.g. oleic acid, in a single aqueous buffered reaction medium at low temperature, e.g. 30° C. A simple one-pot enzymatic method to produce fatty acid estolides from one or more triglycerides, e.g. starting from a natural plant oil, is thereby enabled in which the same lipase catalyses both the initial hydrolysis of triglyceride and the final esterification step.
