The invention relates to the use of a protein having nuclease activity for reducing the viscosity and/or preventing an increase in viscosity of a fermentation broth, which comprises intact microorganisms after termination of the fermentation process. The invention moreover relates to a method for reducing the viscosity and/or preventing an increase in viscosity of a fermentation broth comprising intact microorganisms after fermentation and comprising a step of introducing a protein having nuclease activity into the fermentation broth during the fermentation until the start of recovering the end product. The invention further relates to fermentation processes comprising said use of a protein having nuclease activity to allow more flexibility to the downstream processing of the fermentation broth.

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.

The present invention provides a method for analysing nuclease hypersensitive sites which method comprises: i) cleaving a nucleic acid sample comprising chromatin at multiple nuclease hypersensitive sites with a first sequence specific restriction enzyme to introduces a staggered cut and leave a single chain 3 or 5 overhang in a double stranded DNA; ii) optionally isolating substantially free DNA from the digested nucleic acid sample or removing the protein and RNA components from the digested nucleic acid sample to leave substantially free DNA; iii) ligating an adapter oligonucleotide onto the overhang produced by the first sequence specific restriction enzyme in aqueous solution, which adaptor oligonucleotide contains a single stranded region which is complementary to the overhang produced by the first sequence specific restriction enzyme, and which adaptor oligonucleotide contains a recognition site (e.g. target DNA sequence) for a second restriction enzyme; iv) treating the ligated DNA sequence with a second restriction enzyme wherein said second restriction enzyme is specific to said recognition site introduced within said adaptor oligonucleotide, wherein said second restriction enzyme cuts at a position at a defined number of bases distal to said recognition site and introduces a staggered cut, leaving a single chain 3 or 5 overhang in the double stranded DNA; v) optionally amplifying the DNA fragments; vi) analysing the DNA fragments formed in iv) or v) from a plurality of sequences (such as a plurality of genes) wherein at least steps iii) and iv) of the method are conducted in an aqueous medium.
