Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising a mix of enzymes.
  • the invention further relates to use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of an item.
  • Enzymes have been used in detergents for decades. Usually a cocktail of various enzymes is added to detergent compositions.
  • the enzyme cocktail often comprises various enzymes, wherein each enzyme targets its specific substrate e.g. amylases are active towards starch stains, proteases on protein stains and so forth.
  • Textiles surface and hard surfaces such as dishes or the inner space of a laundry washing machine enduring a number of wash cycles, become soiled with many different types of soiling composing e.g. of proteins, grease, starch etc.
  • One type of soiling may be organic matter, such as biofilm, EPS, etc.
  • Organic matter composes different molecules such as polysaccharides, extracellular DNA (eDNA), and proteins.
  • Some organic matter composes an extracellular polymeric matrix, which may be sticky or gluing, which when present on textile, attracts soils and may cause re-deposition or back staining of soil resulting in a greying of the textile. Additionally, organic matters such as biofilms often cause malodor issues, such as moldy and damp smells.
  • the invention relates to cleaning compositions comprising a DNase, pectinase and at least one cleaning component.
  • a first aspect of the present invention relates to a cleaning composition
  • a cleaning composition comprising at least 1 or at least 10 ppm, preferably from 10 to 1000 ppm DNase and at least 10 ppm pectinase and a cleaning component, wherein the cleaning component is selected from the group consisting of

  • the invention further relates to the use of a composition comprising a DNase, pectinase and at least one cleaning component for deep cleaning of an item, wherein the item is a textile or a hard surface.
  • the invention further relates to a method of formulating a cleaning composition comprising adding a DNase, a pectinase and a cleaning component selected from the group consisting of at least one surfactant; at least one builder; at least one bleach component, and combinations thereof.
  • the invention further relates to a kit intended for deep cleaning, wherein the kit comprises a solution of an enzyme mixture comprising a DNase, pectinase and optionally a protease.
  • the invention further relates to a method of deep cleaning of an item, comprising the steps of: a) contacting the item with a wash liquor composition comprising an enzyme mixture comprising at least 0.00001 ppm a DNase and at least 0.00001 ppm a pectinase, optionally a protease; and a cleaning component, wherein the cleaning component is selected from a group consisting of a surfactant; a builder; a bleach component, and combinations thereof; and b) optionally rinsing the item, wherein the item is preferably a textile.
  • the invention further relates to a method of deep cleaning of an item, comprising the steps of:
  • a) contacting the item with a cleaning composition comprising a DNase, pectinase and at least one cleaning component
  • the item is preferably a textile.
  • EPS extracellular polymeric substance
  • biofilm may be produced when a group of microorganisms' cells stick to each other or stick to a surface, such as a textile, dishware or hard surface or another kind of surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), which constitute 50% to 90% of the biofilm's total organic matter.
  • EPS extracellular polymeric substance
  • EPS is mostly composed of polysaccharides (exopolysaccharides) and proteins, but include other macro-molecules such as eDNA, lipids and other organic substances.
  • Organic matter like biofilm may be sticky or gluing, which when present on textile, may give rise to re-deposition or back staining of soil resulting in a greying of the textile.
  • Another drawback of organic matter e.g. biofilm is the malodor e.g. moldy and damps smells.
  • the dirt present in the wash liquor tend to stick to organic matter e.g. biofilm or biofilm components as a result, hereof the laundry item is more "soiled" after wash than before wash. This is effect may also be termed re-deposition.

Background of the Invention
The present invention relates to compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising a mix of enzymes. The invention further relates to use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of an item.
Description of the Related Art
Enzymes have been used in detergents for decades. Usually a cocktail of various enzymes is added to detergent compositions. The enzyme cocktail often comprises various enzymes, wherein each enzyme targets its specific substrate e.g. amylases are active towards starch stains, proteases on protein stains and so forth. Textiles surface and hard surfaces, such as dishes or the inner space of a laundry washing machine enduring a number of wash cycles, become soiled with many different types of soiling composing e.g. of proteins, grease, starch etc. One type of soiling may be organic matter, such as biofilm, EPS, etc. Organic matter composes different molecules such as polysaccharides, extracellular DNA (eDNA), and proteins. Some organic matter composes an extracellular polymeric matrix, which may be sticky or gluing, which when present on textile, attracts soils and may cause re-deposition or back staining of soil resulting in a greying of the textile. Additionally, organic matters such as biofilms often cause malodor issues, such as moldy and damp smells.
There is a need for cleaning compositions, which effectively prevent, reduce or remove components of organic soiling, an effect described in the present application as "deep cleaning". The present invention provides new compositions fulfilling such need.

Detailed Description of the Invention
Various enzymes are applied in cleaning processes each targeting specific types of soiling such as protein, starch and grease soiling. Enzymes are now standard ingredients in detergents for laundry and dish wash. The effectiveness of these commercial enzymes provides detergents which removes much of the soiling. However, organic matters such as cell debris, EPS (extracellular polymeric substance) comprised in much biofilm constitute a challenging type of soiling due to the complex nature of such organic matters. Biofilm may be produced when a group of microorganisms' cells stick to each other or stick to a surface, such as a textile, dishware or hard surface or another kind of surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), which constitute 50% to 90% of the biofilm's total organic matter. EPS is mostly composed of polysaccharides (exopolysaccharides) and proteins, but include other macro-molecules such as eDNA, lipids and other organic substances. Organic matter like biofilm may be sticky or gluing, which when present on textile, may give rise to re-deposition or back staining of soil resulting in a greying of the textile. Another drawback of organic matter e.g. biofilm is the malodor e.g. moldy and damps smells. Thus, when dirty laundry items are washed together with less dirty laundry items the dirt present in the wash liquor tend to stick to organic matter e.g. biofilm or biofilm components as a result, hereof the laundry item is more "soiled" after wash than before wash. This is effect may also be termed re-deposition.
The cleaning composition of the invention is preferably a cleaning composition; the composition comprises at least one DNase and at least one pectinase e.g. pectate lyase. Examples of useful DNases and pectinases are mentioned below in the sections "Polypeptides having DNase activity" and "Pectinases" respectively.
The cleaning compositions of the invention comprise a blend of a DNase and a pectinase and are effective in reducing or removing organic components and soiling from organic matter.

Pectinase
The term "pectinase", includes pectolytic enzymes, which cleave glyosidic linkages of pectic substances mainlyl ,4-alpha-D-galacturonide e.g. poly-1 ,4-alpha-D-galacturonide and its derivatives (Sakai et al., pectin, pectinase and protopectinase: production, properties and applications, pp 213-294 in: Advances in Applied Microbiology vol:39,1993). Pectin polymers are important constituents of plant cell walls. Pectin is a hetero-polysaccharide with a backbone composed of alternating homogalacturonan (smooth regions) and rhamnogalacturonan (hairy regions). The smooth regions are linear polymers of 1 ,4-linked alpha-D-galacturonic acid. The galacturonic acid residues can be methyl-esterified on the carboxyl group to a varying degree, usually in a non-random fashion with blocks of polygalacturonic acid being completely methyl- esterified.
Pectinases in general work on the pectin polymer in two ways, one way is mainly endo- acting, cutting the polymer at random sites within the chain to give a mixture of oligomers, and the other way is exo-acting, attacking from one end of the polymer and producing monomers or dimers. Pectinases can be classified according to their preferential substrate, highly methyl- esterified pectin or low methyl-esterified pectin and polygalacturonic acid (pectate), and their reaction mechanism, beta-elimination or hydrolysis.
Pectinases may be classified as described in Enzyme Nomenclature (1992) references and includes pectate lyases (EC 4.2.2.2) and pectin lyases (EC 4.2.2.10).
The pectinase can be included in the cleaning composition of the present invention at a level of from 0.0001 to 1000 ppm, 0.001 to 1000 ppm, 0.01 to 1000 ppm, 0.1 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 1 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 10 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 50 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 100 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 150 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 200 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 250 ppm to 1000 ppm, from 250 ppm to 750 ppm, from 250 ppm to 500 ppm.
The pectinase can be included in the wash liquor composition of the present invention at a level of from 0.00001 ppm to 100 ppm, 0.00001 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.00002 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.0001 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.0002 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.001 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.002 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.01 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.02 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.2 ppm to 10 ppm, from 0.5 ppm to 5 ppm.

The detergent may contain 0-30% by weight, such as about 1 % to about 20%, of a bleaching system. Any bleaching system comprising components known in the art for use in cleaning detergents may be utilized. Suitable bleaching system components include sources of hydrogen peroxide; sources of peracids; and bleach catalysts or boosters.
Sources of hydrogen peroxide:
Suitable sources of hydrogen peroxide are inorganic persalts, including alkali metal salts such as sodium percarbonate and sodium perborates (usually mono- or tetrahydrate), and hydrogen peroxide— urea (1/1 ).
Sources of peracids:
Peracids may be (a) incorporated directly as preformed peracids or (b) formed in situ in the wash liquor from hydrogen peroxide and a bleach activator (perhydrolysis) or (c) formed in situ in the wash liquor from hydrogen peroxide and a perhydrolase and a suitable substrate for the latter, e.g., an ester.
a) Suitable preformed peracids include, but are not limited to, peroxycarboxylic acids such as peroxybenzoic acid and its ring-substituted derivatives, peroxy-onaphthoic acid, peroxyphthalic acid, peroxylauric acid, peroxystearic acid, ε-phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid [phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid (PAP)], and o-carboxybenzamidoperoxycaproic acid; aliphatic and aromatic diperoxydicarboxylic acids such as diperoxydodecanedioic acid, diperoxyazelaic acid, diperoxysebacic acid, diperoxybrassylic acid, 2-decyldiperoxybutanedioic acid, and diperoxyphthalic, -isophthalic and -terephthalic acids; perimidic acids; peroxymonosulfuric acid; peroxydisulfuric acid; peroxyphosphoric acid; peroxysilicic acid; and mixtures of said compounds. It is understood that the peracids mentioned may in some cases be best added as suitable salts, such as alkali metal salts (e.g., Oxone®) or alkaline earth-metal salts.
b) Suitable bleach activators include those belonging to the class of esters, amides, imides, nitriles or anhydrides and, where applicable, salts thereof. Suitable examples are tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), sodium 4-[(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl)oxy]benzene-1 - sulfonate (ISONOBS), sodium 4-(dodecanoyloxy)benzene-1 -sulfonate (LOBS), sodium 4- (decanoyloxy)benzene-l -sulfonate, 4-(decanoyloxy)benzoic acid (DOBA), sodium 4- (nonanoyloxy)benzene-l -sulfonate (NOBS), and/or those disclosed in W098/17767. A particular family of bleach activators of interest was disclosed in EP624154 and particularly preferred in that family is acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC). ATC or a short chain triglyceride like triacetin has the advantage that they are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, acetyl triethyl citrate and triacetin have good hydrolytical stability in the product upon storage and are efficient bleach activators. Finally, ATC is multifunctional, as the citrate released in the perhydrolysis reaction may function as a builder. Bleach catalysts and boosters
The bleaching system may also include a bleach catalyst or booster.

Proteases
The term "protease activity" means a proteolytic activity (EC 3.4). Proteases usably in cleaning compositions of the present invention are mainly endopeptidases (EC 3.4.21 ). There are several protease activity types: The three main activity types are: trypsin-like where there is cleavage of amide substrates following Arg or Lys at P1 , chymotrypsin-like where cleavage occurs following one of the hydrophobic amino acids at P1 , and elastase-like with cleavage following an Ala at P1. The most widely used proteases in the detergent industry such as laundry and dish wash are the serine proteases. Serine proteases is a subgroup of proteases characterised by having a serine in the active site, which forms a covalent adduct with the substrate. Serine proteases are characterized by having two active site amino acid residues apart from the serine, namely a histidine residue and an aspartic acid residue. Subtilase refer to a sub- group of serine protease according to Siezen et al., 1991 , Protein Engng. 4: 719-737 and Siezen et al., 1997, Protein Science 6: 501 -523. The subtilases may be divided into 6 sub-divisions, i.e., the Subtilisin family, the Thermitase family, the Proteinase K family, the Lantibiotic peptidase family, the Kexin family and the Pyrolysin family.
Suitable proteases for the compositions of the invention include those of bacterial, fungal, plant, viral or animal origin e.g. vegetable or microbial origin. Microbial origin is preferred. Chemically modified or protein engineered mutants are included. It may be an alkaline protease, such as a serine protease or a neutral protease e.g. metalloprotease. A serine protease may for example be of the S1 family, such as trypsin, or the S8 family such as subtilisin. A metalloproteases protease may for example be a thermolysin from e.g. family M4 or metalloproteases such as those from M5, M7 or M8 families.

Pouches can be configured as single or multicompartments. It can be of any form, shape and material which is suitable for hold the composition, e.g. without allowing the release of the composition to release of the composition from the pouch prior to water contact. The pouch is made from water soluble film which encloses an inner volume. Said inner volume can be divided into compartments of the pouch. Preferred films are polymeric materials preferably polymers which are formed into a film or sheet. Preferred polymers, copolymers or derivates thereof are selected polyacrylates, and water soluble acrylate copolymers, methyl cellulose, carboxy methyl cellulose, sodium dextrin, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, malto dextrin, poly methacrylates, most preferably polyvinyl alcohol copolymers and, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). Preferably the level of polymer in the film for example PVA is at least about 60%. Preferred average molecular weight will typically be about 20,000 to about 150,000.

Definitions
Biofilm may be produced by any group of microorganisms when cells stick to each other or stick to a surface, such as a textile, dishware or hard surface or another kind of surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Biofilm EPS is a polymeric conglomeration generally composed of extracellular DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides. Biofilms may form on living or non-living surfaces. The microbial cells growing in a biofilm are physiologically distinct from planktonic cells of the same organism, which, by contrast, are single-cells that may float or swim in a liquid medium. Bacteria living in a biofilm usually have significantly different properties from planktonic bacteria of the same species, as the dense and protected environment of the film allows them to cooperate and interact in various ways. One benefit of this environment for the microorganisms is increased resistance to detergents and antibiotics, as the dense extracellular matrix and the outer layer of cells protect the interior of the community.
On laundry biofilm producing bacteria can be found among the following species: Acinetobacter sp., Aeromicrobium sp., Brevundimonas sp., Microbacterium sp., Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Stenotrophomonas sp. On hard surfaces biofilm producing bacteria can be found among the following species: Acinetobacter sp., Aeromicrobium sp., Brevundimonas sp., Microbacterium sp., Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Stenotrophomonas sp. In one aspect, the biofilm producing strain is Brevundimonas sp. In one aspect, the biofilm producing strain is Pseudomonas alcaliphila or Pseudomonas fluorescens. In one aspect, the biofilm producing strain is Staphylococcus aureus.
By the term "deep cleaning" is meant disruption or removal of components of organic matter, e.g. biofilm, such as polysaccharides, proteins, DNA, soil or other components present in the organic matter.
Detergent adjunct ingredient: The detergent adjunct ingredient is different from the DNase and pectate lyase. The precise nature of these additional adjunct components, and levels of incorporation thereof, will depend on the physical form of the composition and the nature of the operation for which it is to be used. Suitable adjunct materials include, but are not limited to the components described below such as surfactants, builders, flocculating aid, chelating agents, dye transfer inhibitors, enzymes, enzyme stabilizers, enzyme inhibitors, catalytic materials, bleach activators, hydrogen peroxide, sources of hydrogen peroxide, preformed peracids, polymeric agents, clay soil removal/anti-redeposition agents, brighteners, suds suppressors, dyes, perfumes, structure elasticizing agents, fabric softeners, carriers, hydrotropes, builders and co-builders, fabric huing agents, anti-foaming agents, dispersants, processing aids, and/or pigments.
Cleaning Composition: The term "cleaning composition" refers to compositions that find use in the removal of undesired compounds from items to be cleaned, such as textiles. The detergent composition may be used to e.g. clean textiles for both household cleaning and industrial cleaning. The terms encompass any materials/compounds selected for the particular type of cleaning composition desired and the form of the product (e.g., liquid, gel, powder, granulate, paste, or spray compositions) and includes, but is not limited to, detergent compositions (e.g., liquid and/or solid laundry detergents and fine fabric detergents; fabric fresheners; fabric softeners; and textile and laundry pre-spotters/pretreatment). In addition to containing the enzyme of the invention, the detergent formulation may contain one or more additional enzymes (such as proteases, lipases, cutinases, endoglucanases, xyloglucanases, xanthanases, peroxidases, haloperoxygenases and catalases or any mixture thereof), and/or detergent adjunct ingredients such as surfactants, builders, chelators or chelating agents, bleach system or bleach components, polymers, fabric conditioners, foam boosters, suds suppressors, dyes, perfume, tannish inhibitors, optical brighteners, bactericides, fungicides, soil suspending agents, anti-corrosion agents, enzyme inhibitors or stabilizers, enzyme activators, transferase(s), hydrolytic enzymes, oxido reductases, bluing agents and fluorescent dyes, antioxidants, and solubilizers. The term "cleaning composition" is used interchangeably with "detergent composition". The cleaning composition of the present invention can be diluted with water to form a wash liquor composition upon application.
The term "enzyme detergency benefit" is defined herein as the advantageous effect an enzyme may add to a detergent compared to the same detergent without the enzyme. Important detergency benefits which can be provided by enzymes are stain removal with no or very little visible soils after washing and/or cleaning, prevention or reduction of redeposition of soils released in the washing process (an effect that also is termed anti-redeposition), restoring fully or partly the whiteness of textiles which originally were white but after repeated use and wash have obtained a greyish or yellowish appearance (an effect that also is termed whitening). Textile care benefits, which are not directly related to catalytic stain removal or prevention of redeposition of soils, are also important for enzyme detergency benefits. Examples of such textile care benefits are prevention or reduction of dye transfer from one fabric to another fabric or another part of the same fabric (an effect that is also termed dye transfer inhibition or anti-backstaining), removal of protruding or broken fibers from a fabric surface to decrease pilling tendencies or remove already existing pills or fuzz (an effect that also is termed anti-pilling), improvement of the fabric-softness, colour clarification of the fabric and removal of particulate soils which are trapped in the fibers of the fabric or garment. Enzymatic bleaching is a further enzyme detergency benefit where the catalytic activity generally is used to catalyze the formation of bleaching components such as hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides. Textile care benefits, which are not directly related to catalytic stain removal or prevention of redeposition of soils, are also important for enzyme detergency benefits. Examples of such textile care benefits are prevention or reduction of dye transfer from one textile to another textile or another part of the same textile (an effect that is also termed dye transfer inhibition or anti-backstaining), removal of protruding or broken fibers from a textile surface to decrease pilling tendencies or remove already existing pills or fuzz (an effect that also is termed anti-pilling), improvement of the textile-softness, colour clarification of the textile and removal of particulate soils which are trapped in the fibers of the textile. Enzymatic bleaching is a further enzyme detergency benefit where the catalytic activity generally is used to catalyze the formation of bleaching component such as hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides or other bleaching species."
The term "hard surface cleaning" is defined herein as cleaning of hard surfaces wherein hard surfaces may include floors, tables, walls, roofs etc. as well as surfaces of hard objects such as cars (car wash) and dishes (dish wash). Dish washing includes but are not limited to cleaning of plates, cups, glasses, bowls, cutlery such as spoons, knives, forks, serving utensils, ceramics, plastics, metals, china, glass and acrylics.
The term "wash performance" is used as an enzyme's ability to remove stains present on the object to be cleaned during e.g. wash or hard surface cleaning.
The term "whiteness" is defined herein as a greying, yellowing of a textile. Loss of whiteness may be due to removal of optical brighteners/hueing agents. Greying and yellowing can be due to soil redeposition, body soils, colouring from e.g. iron and copper ions or dye transfer. Whiteness might include one or several issues from the list below: colourant or dye effects; incomplete stain removal (e.g. body soils, sebum etc.); redeposition (greying, yellowing or other discolourations of the object) (removed soils reassociate with other parts of textile, soiled or unsoiled); chemical changes in textile during application; and clarification or brightening of colours.
The term "laundering" relates to both household laundering and industrial laundering and means the process of treating textiles with a solution containing a cleaning or detergent composition of the present invention. The laundering process can for example be carried out using e.g. a household or an industrial washing machine or can be carried out by hand.
By the term "malodor" is meant an odor which is not desired on clean items. The cleaned item should smell fresh and clean without malodors adhered to the item. One example of malodor is compounds with an unpleasant smell, which may be produced by microorganisms. Another example is unpleasant smells can be sweat or body odor adhered to an item which has been in contact with human or animal. Another example of malodor can be the odor from spices, which sticks to items for example curry or other exotic spices which smells strongly. The term "mature polypeptide" means a polypeptide in its final form following translation and any post-translational modifications, such as N-terminal processing, C-terminal truncation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, etc.
The term "textile" means any textile material including yarns, yarn intermediates, fibers, non-woven materials, natural materials, synthetic materials, and any other textile material, fabrics made of these materials and products made from fabrics (e.g., garments and other articles). The textile or fabric may be in the form of knits, wovens, denims, non-wovens, felts, yarns, and towelling. The textile may be cellulose based such as natural cellulosics, including cotton, flax/linen, jute, ramie, sisal or coir or manmade cellulosics (e.g. originating from wood pulp) including viscose/rayon, cellulose acetate fibers (tricell), lyocell or blends thereof. The textile or fabric may also be non-cellulose based such as natural polyamides including wool, camel, cashmere, mohair, rabbit and silk or synthetic polymers such as nylon, aramid, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene and spandex/elastane, or blends thereof as well as blends of cellulose based and non-cellulose based fibers. Examples of blends are blends of cotton and/or rayon/viscose with one or more companion material such as wool, synthetic fiber (e.g. polyamide fiber, acrylic fiber, polyester fiber, polyvinyl chloride fiber, polyurethane fiber, polyurea fiber, aramid fiber), and/or cellulose-containing fiber (e.g. rayon/viscose, ramie, flax/linen, jute, cellulose acetate fiber, lyocell). Fabric may be conventional washable laundry, for example stained household laundry. When the term fabric or garment is used it is intended to include the broader term textiles as well.
The term "variant" means a polypeptide having the activity of the parent or precursor polypeptide and comprising an alteration, i.e., a substitution, insertion, and/or deletion, at one or more (e.g., several) positions compared to the precursor or parent polypeptide. A substitution means replacement of the amino acid occupying a position with a different amino acid; a deletion means removal of the amino acid occupying a position; and an insertion means adding an amino acid adjacent to and immediately following the amino acid occupying a position.
The term "pectin" means pectate, polygalacturonic acid, and pectin which may be esterified to a higher or lower degree.
The term "pectinase" means a pectinase enzyme defined according to the art where pectinases are a group of enzymes that cleave glycosidic linkages of pectic substances mainly poly-1 ,4-alpha-D-galacturonide and its derivatives (see reference Sakai et al., Pectin, pectinase and protopectinase: production, properties and applications, pp 213-294 in: Advances in Applied Microbiology vol:39,1993).
A pectinase of the invention is a pectinase enzyme which catalyzes the random cleavage of alpha-1 ,4-glycosidic linkages in pectic acid also called polygalacturonic acid by transelimination and includes polygalacturonate lyase (EC 4.2.2.2) (PGL) e.g. poly(1 ,4-alpha- D-galacturonide) lyase or e.g. (1 -4)-alpha-D-galacturonan, also known as pectate lyase or (1 - 4)-alpha-D-galacturonan lyase.

Examples
Wash Assay
Launder-O-Meter (LOM) Model Wash System The Launder-O-Meter (LOM) is a medium scale model wash system that can be applied to test up to 20 different wash conditions simultaneously. A LOM is basically a large temperature controlled water bath with 20 closed metal beakers rotating inside it. Each beaker constitutes one small washing machine and during an experiment, each will contain a solution of a specific detergent/enzyme system to be tested along with the soiled and unsoiled fabrics it is tested on. Mechanical stress is achieved by the beakers being rotated in the water bath and by including metal balls in the beaker.
The LOM model wash system is mainly used in medium scale testing of detergents and enzymes at European wash conditions. In a LOM experiment, factors such as the ballast to soil ratio and the fabric to wash liquor ratio can be varied. Therefore, the LOM provides the link between small scale experiments, such as AMSA and mini-wash, and the more time consuming full scale experiments in front loader washing machines.
Assays
Assay I: Testing of DNase activity
DNase activity was determined by using the DNaseAlert™ Kit (1 1 -02-01 -04, IDT
Integrated DNA Technologies) according to the supplier's manual. Briefly, 95 μΙ DNase sample was mixed with 5 μΙ substrate in a microtiter plate, and fluorescence was immediately measured using a Clariostar microtiter reader from BMG Labtech (536 nm excitation, 556 nm emission).
Assay II: Microtiter assay for quantification of pectate lyase activity
Pectate lyase cleaves polygalacturonic acid through a trans elimination mechanism. This means that it leaves a double C-C bond for each substrate split. This bond absorbs at 235 nm allowing direct detection of pectate lyase action on soluble polygalacturonic acid by measuring absorbance at that wavelength. An enzyme sample is diluted in assay buffer (100 mM Tris-HCI, 0.68 mM CaC , pH 8.0) to a concentration between 5 and 100 ng/ml. If the enzyme sample contains detergent it should be diluted at least a 1000-fold with respect to detergent. 100 μΙ of the enzyme buffer dilution is mixed with 100 μΙ substrate (1 % (w/v) polygalacturonic acid, e.g., P- 3850 from Sigma, stirred in assay buffer for at least 15 min and centrifuged for 5 min at 2300 g, supernatant is used) in a heating plate and heated to 40°C for 10 min in a heating block, preferably a PCR machine or equipment of equivalent accuracy and heating speeds.
100 μΙ enzyme/substrate solution is mixed with 100 μΙ stop reagent (50 mM H3PO4) in a UV-transparent microtiter plate. The UV plate is shaken briefly and gently, and the absorbance at 235 nm is measured in a microtiter spectrometer (e.g., Molecular Devices, SpectraMAX 190). The absorbance readings are corrected for background absorbance by subtracting the absorbance of a control sample, run without enzyme added, to all measured values. A standard curve based on the activity of the pectate lyase of SEQ ID NO: 82 was linear between 2.5 and 100 ng/ml enzyme in the reaction mixture:
Table 1
Figure imgf000068_0001
Assay III: The lyase assay (at 235 nm)
For determination of the β-elimination an assay measuring the increase in absorbance at 235 nm was carried out using the substrate 0.1 % polygalacturonic acid sodium salt (Sigma P- 1879) solubilised in 0.1 M Glycin buffer pH 10. For calculation of the catalytic rate an increase of 5.2 Absorbency at 235 units per min corresponds to formation of 1 μηηοΙ of unsaturated product (Nasuna and Starr (1966) J. Biol. Chem. Vol 241 page 5298-5306; and Bartling, Wegener and Olsen (1995) Microbiology Vol 141 page 873-881 ).
Steady state condition using a 0.5 ml cuvette with a 1 cm light path on a HP diode array spectrophotometer in a temperature controlled cuvette holder with continuous measurement of the absorbency at 235 nm. For steady state a linear increase for at least 200 sees was used for calculation of the rate. It was used for converted to formation μηηοΙ per min product.
One Pectate Unit is the amount of enzyme resulting in formation of one micromole cleaved per minute at pH 8.0 and 70°C.
Model detergent A: 12% LAS, 1 1 % AEO Biosoft N25-7 (Nl), 5% AEOS (SLES), 6% MPG, 3% ethanol/propanol, 3% TEA, 2.8% cocoa soap, 2.8% soya soap, 2% glycerol, 2% sodium hydroxide, 2% sodium citrate, 1 % sodium formiate, 0.2% DTMPA and 0.2% PCA (all percentages are w/w)) (3.3 g/L) was dissolved and water hardness adjusted to 15°dH (Ca:Mg:NaHC03" = 4:1 :1 .5). Materials and Methods
Isolating laundry specific bacterial strains
One strain of Brevundimonas sp. isolated from laundry was used in the present example. The Brevundimonas sp. was isolated during a study, where the bacterial diversity in laundry after washing at 15, 40 and 60°C, respectively, was investigated. The study was conducted on laundry collected from Danish households. For each wash, 20 g of laundry items (tea towel, towel, dish cloth, bib, T-shirt armpit, T-shirt collar, socks) in the range 4:3:2:2:1 :1 :1 was used. Washing was performed in a Laundr-O-Meter (LOM) at 15, 40 or 60°C. For washing at 15 and 40°C, the commercial detergent Ariel Sensitive White & Color was used, whereas WFK IEC-A* model detergent was used for washing at 60°C. Ariel Sensitive White & Color was prepared by weighing out 5.1 g and adding tap water up to 1000 ml followed by stirring for 5 minutes. WFK IEC-A* model detergent (which is available from WFK Testgewebe GmbH) was prepared by weighing out 5 g and adding tap water up to 1300 ml followed by stirring for 15 min. Washing was performed for 1 hour at 15, 40 and 60°C, respectively, followed by 2 times rinsing with tap water for 20 min at 15°C.
Laundry was sampled immediately after washing at 15, 40 and 60°C, respectively. Twenty grams of laundry was added 0.9% (w/v) NaCI (1 .06404; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) with 0.5% (w/w) tween 80 to yield a 1 :10 dilution in stomacher bag. The mixture was homogenized using a Stomacher for 2 minutes at medium speed. After homogenization, ten-fold dilutions were prepared in 0.9% (w/v) NaCI. Bacteria were enumerated on Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) (CM0129, Oxoid, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK) incubated aerobically at 30°C for 5-7 days. To suppress growth of yeast and moulds, 0.2% sorbic acid (359769, Sigma) and 0.1 % cycloheximide (18079; Sigma) were added. Bacterial colonies were selected from countable plates and purified by restreaking twice on TSA. For long time storage, purified isolates were stored at -80°C in TSB containing 20% (w/v) glycerol (49779; Sigma).
Preparation of swatches with biofilm
Swatches with biofilm of Brevundimonas sp. was included in the present study. Bacteria was pre-grown on Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) (pH 7.3) (CM0131 ; Oxoid Ltd, Basingstoke, UK) for 2-5 days at 30°C. From a single colony, a loop-full was transferred to 10 mL of TSB and incubated for 1 day at 30°C with shaking (240 rpm). After propagation, cells were pelleted by centrifugation (Sigma Laboratory Centrifuge 6K15) (3000 g at 21 °C in 7 min) and resuspended in 10 mL of TSB diluted twice with water. Optical density (OD) at 600 nm was measured using a spectophometer (POLARstar Omega (BMG Labtech, Ortenberg, Germany). Fresh TSB diluted twice with water was inoculated to an ODeoonm Of 0.03, and 50 mL was added into a petridish (diameter 125 mm), in which a swatch (80 mm x 120 mm) of either sterile cotton (WFK10A) or sterile polyester (WFK30A). After incubation (48 h at 15°C with shaking (100 rpm), swatches were rinsed twice with 0.9% (w/v) NaCI and dried in LAF bench for 60 min. Swatches were stored at 4°C prior to wash. Wash experiment
Wash experiment was performed using the Automatic Mechanical Stress Assay (AMSA). With AMSA, the wash performance of many small volume enzyme-detergent solutions can be examined at the same time. The AMSA plate has many slots for test solutions, and a lid that firmly squeezes the textile to be washed against the slot openings. During the wash, the plate, test solutions, textile and lid are vigorously shaken to bring the test solution in contact with the textile and apply mechanical stress in a regular, periodic, oscillating manner. For further description see WO 02/42740.
The wash experiment was conducted under the experimental conditions specified below: Table 2
Figure imgf000070_0001
Model detergents and test materials were as follows:
Table 3
Figure imgf000070_0002
For wash experiments, Model detergent A (containing 12% LAS, 1 1 % AEO Biosoft N25- 7 (Nl), 5% AEOS (SLES), 6% MPG, 3% ethanol/propanol, 3% TEA, 2.8% cocoa soap, 2.8% soya soap, 2% glycerol, 2% sodium hydroxide, 2% sodium citrate, 1 % sodium formiate, 0.2% DTMPA and 0.2% PCA (all percentages are w/w)) (3.3 g/L) was dissolved and water hardness adjusted to 15°dH (Ca:Mg:NaHCC>3" = 4:1 :1 .5). Soil was subsequently added to reach a concentration of 0.7 g soil/L (WFK09V pigment soil) to reveal biofilm. After washing, textiles were flushed in tap water and dried over night before scanning.
Wash performance was measured as the brightness of the WFK09V pigment soiled, washed textile. Brightness can also be expressed as the intensity of the light reflected from the sample when illuminated with white light. When the sample is soiled, the intensity of the reflected light is lower, than that of a clean sample. Therefore, the intensity of the reflected light can be used to measure wash performance. Intensity measurements were made with a professional flatbed scanner (Kodak iQsmart, Kodak, Midtager 29, DK-2605 Brandby, Denmark), which was used to capture an image of the washed and dried textile. To extract a value for the light intensity from the scanned images, 24-bit pixel values from the image were converted into values for red, green and blue (RGB). The intensity value (Int) was calculated by adding the RGB values together vectors and then taking the length of the resulting vector:

Example 1
Wash synergy between DNase and pectate lyase
To asses wash synergy between DNase (SEQ ID NO: 13) and pectate lyase (SEQ ID NO: 79), biofilm-harboring textile was AMSA washed, as described above. The experiments were divided in the following four different groups, and swatches made from cotton and polyester are respectively used.
a) absence of enzyme (blank),
b) DNase alone,
c) pectate lyase alone, and
d) mixture of DNase and pectate lyase.
The resulting textile intensities and corresponding wash performances (WPs) are listed in Table 4 and 5. Table 4 shows the data from washing cotton swatches, and Table 5 shows the data from washing polyester swatches. Wash performances attributable to DNase (WPDNase), pectate lyase (WPpectate lyase) and the mixture of the two (WPDNase+pectate lyase) were quantified as the difference in intensity(lnt) between textile washed with and without enzyme:
WPDNase = IntDNase " lnt.Blank,
WPpectate lyase = Intpectate lyase " lntBi ank,
WPDNase+pectate lyase = IntDNase+pectate lyase " lntBi ank-
The synergistic component of wash performance WPsyn was quantified as the extent to which wash performance of mixed DNase and pectate lyase (WPDNase+pectate lyase) exceeded the sum of the individual wash performances of DNase alone and pectate lyase alone:
WPsyn = WPDNase+pectate lyase (WPDNase + WPpectate lyase). Table 4. Synergistic wash effect of DNase and pectate lyase (cotton swatches)
