A method of promoting a desired oral microbiota to treat an inflammation condition related to an allergic reaction in a subject in need of such treatment including providing a preformulated edible composition including an amino acid containing ingredient comprising L-arginine, the composition configured to be present as individual molecules of L-arginine within an oral cavity of the subject; removing a biofilm from surfaces within an oral cavity including exposing the biofilm to a biofilm degrading enzyme; wherein during or following removal of the biofilm, the composition is provided contained and at least partially dissolved within an oral cavity of the subject for a period of at least from about 30 seconds to about an hour on a daily basis comprising at least one day to promote an increased concentration of selected oral microbiota, the selected microbiota including Veillonella and Streptococcus.

Cleaning compositions, preferably for automatic dishwashing and/or laundry, are described. The cleaning composition has an enzyme endogenous to Alkalitalea saponilacus or a variant thereof. Methods of cleaning using the cleaning composition and the use of the enzyme in cleaning compositions is also described.

Described herein are isolated recombinant proteins having lyase activity and nucleic acid sequences which code therefor; along with methods of expressing, isolating, purifying, and using same.

Described herein are isolated recombinant proteins having lyase activity and nucleic acid sequences which code therefor; along with methods of expressing, isolating, purifying, and using same.

A washing machine-cleaning composition comprising (a) at least two enzymes selected from (i) alginate lyase enzyme; (ii) Pel-ase enzyme; (iii) Psl-ase enzyme; (iv) -1,3-glucanase enzyme; and (v) -1,3 (4)-glucanase enzyme; and (b) a cleaning adjunct and a method of treating the interior of a washing machine and a method of degrading soils on an interior surface of an washing machine using such a composition.

Described herein are proteins having lyase activity and nucleic acid sequences which code therefor; along with methods of expressing, isolating, purifying, and using same.

A genome-editing complex for modifying a target polynucleotide comprising a recombinant helical protein linked to either one or more molecules of a genome-editing system or a plasmid encoding for one or more molecules of a genome-editing system, wherein the helical protein length is in the range of from 5 nm to 25 nm, and width is in the range of from 1 nm to 5 nm.

Antipathogenic polypeptides and related compounds and compositions that display antipathogenic activity, antifungal activity (i.e., act as fungicides), antialgal activity (i.e., act as algaecides), and/or enzymatic activity against chitin (i.e., degrade chitin) and/or polyglucuronic acid (i.e., degrade the polyglucuronic acid) are described. These antipathogenic polypeptides, as well the related compounds and compositions disclosed herein, can be used in protecting/treating products, including but not limited to agricultural products and water bodies (including drinking water), from pathogens, including fungi and algae, as well as generating pathogen-resistant products (particularly fungi-resistant and/or algae-resistant products).

The present disclosure provides marine-derived bacterium, consortium comprising the same and uses therefore for hydrolyzing carbohydrate.
