Cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes that include a mix of enzymes. 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.

The present invention describes a intracellular produced lactase, which comprises less than 40 units arylsulfatase activity per NLU of lactase activity. The invention also provides a process comprising treating a substrate with an enzyme preparation, wherein the enzyme preparation is substantially free from arylsulfatase.

The present invention relates to a method for converting at least one oligo- and/or polysaccharide into fructose comprising the steps of: a) adding to a composition comprising water, phosphate and at least one oligo- and/or polysaccharide at least four enzymes, and b) subsequently enzymatically converting the at least one oligo- and/or polysaccharide to fructose in the presence of the at least four enzymes, wherein in step a) at least one additional saccharide is added, whereby the at least one additional saccharide is selected from the group consisting of saccharides comprising 20 or less monosaccharide residues and/or combinations thereof; wherein in step a) the at least four enzymes, preferably at least five enzymes, are selected from the group consisting of transferases, phosphorylases, mutases, isomerases, hydrolases, phosphatases and combinations thereof; and wherein at least one enzyme in step a) is a phosphatase.

Non-limiting cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes including dispersins and specific amylases or mannanases. Said compositions may be used in cleaning processes and/or for cleaning of items, such as textiles, as well as methods of using said compositions for removal or reduction of organic stains.

The invention discloses the application of a β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (HaHex74) from Haloferula sp. in the synthesis of human milk oligosaccharides. The invention provides the use of HaHex74 protein or related biological materials thereof in any one of the following: synthesizing human milk oligosaccharides; synthesizing Lacto-N-triose II and/or Lacto-N-neotetraose; the HaHex74 protein having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 2 is derived from Haloferula sp. The β-N-acetylhexosaminidase HaHex74 disclosed by the invention possesses high-level expression, excellent hydrolysis properties and transglycosylation activity, which may make it potentially useful in the production of human milk oligosaccharides.

Provided are certain glycosyl hydrolase family 3 (GH3) beta-xylosidases engineered to acquire beta-glucosidase activities. Provided also are compositions comprising such multi-functional GH3 enzymes and methods of use or industrial applications thereof.

The invention provides compositions and methods for effective lysosomal targeting mediated by PCSK9. In particular, the compositions and methods provided by the invention may be used to treat lysosomal storage diseases such as Pompe Disease and Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B, and they may be used for targeting lysosomal enzymes to the various muscles of the human body.

The present invention relates to xylanase variants, polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; compositions comprising the xylanase variants and methods of using the variants.

The present invention provides a method for preparing a mogroside having no β-1,6-glucoside bond comprising the step of reacting glycosidase ASBGL2, AOBGL2, AOBGL1, ASBGL1, or a variant thereof with a mogroside having at least one β-1,6-glucoside bond, thereby cleaving said β-1,6-glucoside bond.

This document relates to materials and methods for domesticating oilseed (e.g., pennycress) plants. For example, oilseed plants having reduced seedpod shatter, as well as materials and methods for making and using oilseed plants having reduced seedpod shatter are provided.
