Novel halotolerant and halophilic enzymes and the use of halotolerant and halophilic enzymes

摘要

Enzymes capable of having enzymatic activity at high salinities. Specifically there is provided novel xylanolytically, mannanolytically, lipolytically and amylolytically active halotolerant, or halophilic enzymes which i.a. are useful in the manufacturing of food products, animal feedstuff and other polysaccharide containing materials. Source organisms for such enzymes include halotolerant or halophilic iBacteria/i and iArchaea/i species such as proteobacterial species including iProteobacteria/i species, iBacillaceae/i species including"iGracilibacillus/i" species andiArchaea/i species such as iEuryarchaeota/i species including iHalobacteriaceae/i species e.g."iHalorhabdus/i" species.
