The present invention provides polypeptides having DNase activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also provides nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

A fabric care composition including a plurality of particles, wherein each of the particles include a fabric care agent, water, a sugar alcohol polyol, and a modified starch. The modified starch can have a dextrose equivalent from 4 to 20. The fabric care active agent, said water, and said sugar alcohol polyol are dispersed in the modified starch.

A method of countering malodour in a washing machine at the end of a wash cycle, comprising the addition thereto of a fragrance precursor. The fragrance precursor may be added alone in solution, or as part of a fabric softener/conditioner. The precursor is particularly ethyl (Z)-2-acetyl-4-methyltridec-2-enoate; ethyl N,S-bis(4-oxo-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)butan-2-yl)cysteinate; 4-(dodecylthio)-4-methylpentan-2-one; 1-butoxy-3-((1E,4Z)-hepta-1,4-dien-1-yl)benzene; 2-ethoxy-4-((1E,4Z)-hepta-1,4-dien-1-yl)phenol; and mixtures thereof.

The use of precursor in this manner provides a washing machine that is free from malodour for a prolonged period.

The present invention concerns a detergent and a pharmaceutical composition comprising a deoxyribonuclease (DNase), wherein the DNase is obtained from a fungal source. It further concerns a laundering method and the use of DNase. The present invention further relates to polypeptides having DNase activity, nucleotides encoding the polypeptide, as well as methods of producing the polypeptides.
