The invention relates to enzymatic methods for hydroxylation in position 2 or 3 of substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons.

A detergent composition, preferably a manual dishwashing detergent composition, including one or more diol synthases capable of converting one or more unsaturated fatty acids into one or more oxylipins, and a surfactant system including one or more anionic surfactants and one or more co-surfactants selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof. Method of using the detergent composition including a surfactant system and the diol synthases are also provided.

A liquid detergent composition, preferably a liquid manual dishwashing detergent composition, comprising one or more hydroperoxy fatty acid producing enzymes selected from the group consisting of: arachidonate lipoxygenases, alpha-dioxygenases, and mixtures thereof, preferably alpha-dioxygenases, a surfactant system and a liquid carrier (i.e., water). Methods of washing comprising the liquid detergent composition are also provided.

A surfactant containing detergent composition, preferably a manual dishwashing detergent composition, comprising either a combination of one or more hydroperoxy fatty acid producing enzymes and one or more hydroperoxy fatty acid converting enzymes, or at least one fatty acid processing fusion enzyme comprising at least two catalytic domains: a hydroperoxy fatty acid producing domain and a hydroperoxy fatty acid converting, and methods of using such compositions.

The invention relates to enzymatic methods for epoxidation of a non-cyclic aliphatic alkene, or a terpene.

The invention relates to an unspecific peroxygenase of the Agrocybe aegerita fungus, obtained by means of directed molecular evolution to facilitate the functional expression thereof in an active, soluble and stable form. The peroxygenase described in the invention shows a significant improvement in the functional expression thereof, improved monooxygenase activity and reduced peroxidase activity, in relation to the monooxygenase and peroxidase activities showed by the unspecific wild-type peroxygenase of A. aegerita. The peroxygenase of the invention is useful in chemical processes, including industrial transformations such as the selective oxyfunctionalisation of carbon-hydrogen bonds of various organic compounds.

The invention relates to enzymatic methods for epoxidation of a non-cyclic aliphatic alkene, or a terpene.

The invention relates to the field of protein engineering and biocatalysis, in particular to methods for oxygenation of aliphatic alkenes and terpenes using bacterial enzymes. Provided is a method for oxyfunctionalization of a substrate of interest, comprising contacting an aliphatic alkene or a terpene substrate with a source of hydrogen peroxide and a polypeptide having calcosin-like peroxy genase activity (EC 1.11.2.1), wherein the polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 50% pairwise sequence identity when aligned to at least 150 consecutive amino acid residues of Seq. No. 2 shown in Table 1, and comprising at least the following heme-coordinating motifs: i) HXXFFD: ii) H(X)XD, wherein X is any amino acid; and (b) a fragment of the polypeptide of (a) that has calcosin-like peroxygenase activity.
