| abstract |
The present invention relates to a novel group of α-amylases belonging to a common sequence region, a protein having a starch degrading function sufficiently similar to the α-amylase, a method for producing the same, and various possible uses of the starch-degrading protein. In particular in cleaning and cleaning agents. Further, the present invention provides a PCR-based method for identifying and producing novel α-amylases from isolated genomic DNA, particularly from DNA isolated from microbial collections, as well as specific primer oligonucleotides and It relates to its use in the method. |
