Description
REFERENCE TO A SEQUENCE LISTING

This application contains a Sequence Listing in computer readable form, which is incorporated herein by reference.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to enzyme compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising a mix of enzymes. The invention further relates, use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic stains, methods for removal or reduction of components of organic matter.


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 a 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 machine enduring a number of wash cycles, become soiled with many different types of soiling which may compose of proteins, grease, starch etc. One type of stains may be associated with organic matter such as stains from body soiling e.g. skin cell debris, sebum, sweat, biofilm, EPS, etc. Organic matter or stains may compose of different organic molecules such as polysaccharides, extracellular DNA (exDNA), starch and proteins. Organic matter may be poly-organic stains composing different organic stains. Some organic matter or stains composes an extracellular polymeric matrix, which may be sticky or glueing, which when present on textile, attracts soils and may course redeposition or backstaining of soil resulting in a greying of the textile. Additionally, organic matters or stains such as biofilms often cause malodor issue as various malodor molecules can be adhered by the polysaccharides, extracellular DNA (exDNA), and proteins in the complex extracellular matrix and be slowly released to cause consumer noticeable malodor issue. There is still a need for cleaning compositions, which effectively prevent, reduce or remove stains e.g. associated with poly-organic stains e.g. biofilm, such as starch, mannan, protein and DNA. The present invention provides new compositions fulfilling such need.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Definitions

Amylases (EC 3.2.1) are enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of starch, glycogen, and related polysaccharides to oligosaccharides, maltose, or glucose. Amylases are glycoside hydrolases and act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. The amylases suitable in the cleaning compositions of the invention are preferably alpha amylases. Alpha-amylases (EC 3.2.1.1) includes 1,4-α-D-glucan glucanohydrolase and glycogenase and are calcium metalloenzymes. By acting at random locations along the starch chain, alpha-amylase breaks down long-chain carbohydrates, ultimately yielding maltotriose and maltose from amylose, or maltose, glucose and “limit dextrin” from amylopectin. Suitable amylases of the present invention are preferably microbial e.g. obtained from bacterial or fungal sources. The term “alpha-amylase activity” means the activity of alpha 1,4-glucan 4 glucanohydrolases, E.C. 3.2.1.1, which constitute a group of enzymes, which catalyze hydrolysis of starch and other linear and branched 1,4 alpha-glucosidic oligo and poly-saccharides. Alpha-amylase activity may be determined by Assay IV as described in the Examples herein.


Beta-glucanase as used herein means an endo beta-1,4-glucanase activity (e.g. endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase) that catalyzes the hydrolyses of a beta-1,4-bonds connecting two glucosyl residues in a beta-glucan. Non-limiting examples of beta-glucanases as defined herein include cellulases (e.g. EC 3.2.1.4, e.g. having endo-cellulase activity on β-1,4 linkages between D-glucose units and licheninases (or lichenases) (e.g. EC 3.2.1.73) hydrolysing (1,4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in beta-D-glucans containing (1,3)- and (1,4)-bonds. Beta-glucanases (e.g. EC 3.2.1.4) can, for example, perform endohydrolysis of (1,4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans and will also hydrolyze 1,4-linkages in beta-D-glucans containing 1,3-linkages. For purposes of the present invention, beta-glucanase activity is determined according to the procedure described in the Examples. In one aspect of the invention, the beta-glucanases useful according to the present invention have at least 20%, e.g., at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 100% of the beta-glucanase activity of the polypeptide having the sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5. Beta-glucanase activity can suitably be measured using barley beta-glucan as substrate. A preferred assay for determining beta-glucanase activity is disclosed in Assay I (AZCL-Barley beta-glucan assay). A further subgroup of beta-glucanases as defined herein, also known as a licheninases (or lichenases) (e.g. EC 3.2.1.73), can also be used to catalyse the hydrolysis of the beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds to give beta-glucans. Licheninases (or lichenases) (e.g. EC 3.2.1.73) hydrolyse (1,4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in beta-D-glucans containing (1,3)- and (1,4)-bonds and can act on lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans, but not on beta-D-glucans containing only 1,3- or 1,4-bonds. As used herein the term “beta-glucanase activity” comprises licheninase (or lichenases) (e.g. EC 3.2.1.73) activity.


Beta-glucan as used herein means a polysaccharide that only contain glucose as structural components, and in which the glucose units are linked by beta-glycosidic bonds. Non-limiting examples of beta-glucans include beta-D-glucans, beta-1,3-1,4 glucans, mix-linkage beta-glucans, barley beta-glucans, oatmeal beta-glucans.


Biofilm is produced by any group of microorganisms in which 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: Acinetobactersp., Aeromicrobium sp., Brevundimonas sp., Microbacterium sp., Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Stenotrophomonas sp.


Cellulolytic enzyme or cellulase, “cellulolytic enzyme” or “cellulase” means one or more (e.g., several) enzymes that hydrolyze a cellulosic material. Such enzymes include endoglucanase(s), cellobiohydrolase(s), beta-glucosidase(s), or combinations thereof. The two basic approaches for measuring cellulolytic activity include: (1) measuring the total cellulolytic activity, and (2) measuring the individual cellulolytic activities (endoglucanases, cellobiohydrolases, and beta-glucosidases) as reviewed in Zhang et al., Outlook for cellulase improvement: Screening and selection strategies, 2006, Biotechnology Advances 24: 452-481. Total cellulolytic activity is usually measured using insoluble substrates, including Whatman N21 filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose, bacterial cellulose, algal cellulose, cotton, pretreated lignocellulose, etc. The most common total cellulolytic activity assay is the filter paper assay using Whatman N21 filter paper as the substrate. The assay was established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) (Ghose, 1987, Measurement of cellulase activities, Pure Appl. Chem. 59: 257-68). Cellulases includes enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 1,4-beta-D-glycosidic linkages in cellulose, hemicellulose, lichenin, and cereal beta-D-glucans. The term cellulase includes endo-1,4-beta-D-glucanase (beta-1,4-glucanase, beta-1,4-endoglucan hydrolase, endoglucanase D, 1,4-(1,3,1,4)-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase) and carboxymethyl cellulase. Cellulases includes endo-cellulases (EC 3.2.1.4) which randomly cleave internal bonds at amorphous sites that create new chain ends and exocellulases (EC 3.2.1.91) that cleave two to four units from the ends of the exposed chains produced by endocellulase, resulting in tetrasaccharides or disaccharides, such as cellobiose. Exocellulases are further classified into type I, that work processively from the reducing end of the cellulose chain, and type II, that work processively from the nonreducing end. Suitable cellulases include complete cellulases or mono-component endoglucanases of bacterial or fungal origin. Chemically or genetically modified mutants are included. The cellulase may for example be a mono-component or a mixture of mono-component endo-1,4-beta-glucanase often just termed endoglucanases. Cellulases include enzymes having xyloglucanase activity Cellulase activity may be determined as described in Assay V in the Examples herein.


Cellulosic material the term “cellulosic material” means any material containing cellulose. The predominant polysaccharide in the primary cell wall of biomass is cellulose, the second most abundant is hemicellulose, and the third is pectin. The secondary cell wall, produced after the cell has stopped growing, also contains polysaccharides and is strengthened by polymeric lignin covalently cross-linked to hemicellulose. Cellulose is a homopolymer of anhydrocellobiose and thus a linear beta-(1-4)-D-glucan, while hemicelluloses include a variety of compounds, such as xylans, xyloglucans, arabinoxylans, and mannans in complex branched structures with a spectrum of substituents. Although generally polymorphous, cellulose is found in plant tissue primarily as an insoluble crystalline matrix of parallel glucan chains. Hemicelluloses usually hydrogen bond to cellulose, as well as to other hemicelluloses, which help stabilize the cell wall matrix.


Cleaning component: The cleaning component e.g. the detergent adjunct ingredient is different to the DNase and additional enzymes. The precise nature of these additional cleaning components e.g. 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 cleaning components e.g. 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 and hard surfaces. The cleaning composition may be used to e.g. clean textiles or hard surfaces (e.g. dishes) 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 DNase and additional enzymes of the invention, the cleaning composition may contain e.g. 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.


DNases are polypeptides with DNase (deoxyribonuclease) activity that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester linkages in a DNA backbone, thus degrading DNA. Exodeoxyribonuclease cut or cleaves residues at the end of the DNA back bone where endo-deoxyribonucleases cleaves or cut within the DNA backbone. A DNase may cleave only double-stranded DNA or may cleave double stranded and single stranded DNA. The term “DNases” and the expression “a polypeptide with DNase activity” may be used interchangeably throughout the application. For purposes of the present invention, DNase activity is determined according to the procedure described in the Assay II or Assay III. Preferably the DNase is selected from any of the enzyme classes E.C.3.1, preferably E.C.3.1.21. Preferably, the polypeptide having DNase activity is obtained from a microorganism and the DNase is a microbial enzyme. The DNase is preferably of fungal or of bacterial origin.


By the term “deep cleaning” is meant reduction, disruption or removal of components, which may be comprised in organic matter, e.g. skin debris, dead cell material, sebum, sweat and biofilm, such as polysaccharides, grease, proteins, starch, DNA, soil or other components present in the organic matter. The organic matter may be termed poly-organic stains comprising more than one organic component such as starch, grease, protein, DNA and mannan.


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.”

Protease activity may be determined as described in Assay VIII in the Examples herein.


Sequence identity: The relatedness between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the parameter “sequence identity”. For purposes of the present invention, the sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453) as implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. 16: 276-277), preferably version 6.6.0 or later. The parameters used are a gap open penalty of 10, a gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. The output of Needle labeled “longest identity” (obtained using the -nobrief option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows:





(Identical Residues×100)/(Length of Alignment−Total Number of Gaps in Alignment).


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 “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.


Nomenclature

For purposes of the present invention, the nomenclature “E/Q” or EQ means that the amino acid at a given position may be a glutamic acid (Glu, E) or a glutamine (Gln, Q). Likewise, the nomenclature “V/G/A/I” or VGAI means that the amino acid at this position may be a valine (Val, V), glycine (Gly, G), alanine (Ala, A) or isoleucine (Ile, I), and so forth for other combinations as described herein. Unless otherwise limited further, the amino acid X is defined such that it may be any of the 20 natural amino acids.


Substitutions are typically indicated with the original amino acid (the amino acid present in a parent sequence), the position number, and the replacement amino acid. For example, A226V indicates that the alanine residue in position 226 has been replaced by a valine residue. Different parent enzymes may have different amino acids in the position corresponding to position 226 of the parent sequence. Thus, A226V is not limited to substitutions of alanine. Any amino acid may be replaced in the substitution, which may also be indicated with an X as X226V. Both annotations may be used interchangeably. The substitution A226V, may also be written e.g. enzyme X comprising valine at a position corresponding to position 226 of SEQ ID NO XX.


Deletions are indicated with an asterisk (*). For example, G184* indicates that the original glycine residue in position 184 has been deleted.


Insertions are indicated by listing the original amino acid, the position number, the original amino acid and the inserted amino acid. For example, S97SD indicates that an aspartic acid residue has been inserted after the serine residue in position 97.


Multiple alternative mutations may be separated by commas e.g. T51I, S52Q, N54K, meaning that one or more maybe all of the listed mutations may be present. Thus, meaning the above example that either one, two or three (thus all) of the mutations may present compared to the parent enzyme.


When mutations in alteration sets are separated by commas this means that all the alterations in the set are present and the selection is between the lists of alterations (alteration sets). E.g. “comprising one of the alterations sets selected from the group consisting of

    • a. H1*, D183*, G184*, N195F, V206Y;
    • b. H1*, D183*, G184*, N195F, M202L, V206L, R320K, R458K; . . .


      means the selection is made between a., b. etc. of the alteration sets. Thus, a set is then a list of alterations which is all present though separated by commas.


SEQ ID NO XX+mutation(s) is to be understood as variants of an enzyme parent comprising specified mutations compared to the specific parent sequence.


The term “corresponding to” reflects the numbering system used and that various starting proteases (parent proteases) may have different length. Thus, a given starting amylase is aligned with e.g. SEQ ID NO: 8 and the position corresponding to e.g. pos 140 is determined.


The terms parent enzyme includes terms such as reference enzyme, back bone or starting enzyme and is used to denote the enzyme into which to mutations e.g. substitutions are made. The terms may be used interchangeably

One preferred cleaning enzyme to be combined with the beta-glucanase and the DNase enzyme is an additional cellulase in particular an enzyme exhibiting endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activity. Cellulose is a polymer of glucose linked by beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds. Cellulose chains form numerous intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which results in the formation of insoluble cellulose micro-fibrils. Microbial hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose involve three major classes of cellulases: (i) endo-glucanases (EC 3.2.1.4) which cleave beta-1,4-glucosidic links randomly throughout cellulose molecules, also called endo-beta-1,4-glucanases; (ii) cellobiohydrolases (EC 3.2.1.91) which digest cellulose from the non-reducing end, releasing cellobiose; and (iii) beta-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) which hydrolyse cellobiose and low molecular-weight cellodextrins to release glucose. The cellulases useful in the cleaning composition of the invention are preferably endo-glucanases (EC 3.2.1.4). Beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds are also present beta-glucans from plants such as barley and oats. In some cases, endo-glucanases also provide hydrolysis of such non-cellulose polymers. The cellulases are placed into different families of glycosyl hydrolases; fungal and bacterial glycosyl hydrolases have been grouped into 35 families (Henrissat, B.: A classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities. Biochem. J. 280 (1991), 309-316. Henrissat, B., and Bairoch, A.: New families in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities. Biochem. J. 293 (1993), 781-788.). Most cellulases comprises or consists of a cellulose-binding domain (CBD) and a catalytic domain (CAD) separated by a linker which may be rich in proline and hydroxy amino acid residues. Another classification of cellulases has been established on the basis of the similarity of their CBDs (Gilkes et al. (1991)) giving five families of glycosyl hydrolases (I-V). Cellulases are synthesized by a large number of microorganisms which include fungi, actinomycetes, myxobacteria and true bacteria but also by plants. Especially endo-beta-1,4-glucanases of a wide variety of specificities have been identified. Many bacterial endo-glucanases have been described (Gilbert, H. J. and Hazlewood, G. P. (1993) J. Gen. Microbiol. 139:187-194. Henrissat, B., and Bairoch, A.: New families in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities. Biochem. J. 293 (1993), 781-788.). One preferred cellulase includes endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activity (EC 3.2.1.4), preferably obtained from Bacillus sp. AA349 (DSM 12648), as described in WO2002/099091. Other cellulases that are endo-beta-1,4-glucanase enzyme, includes the cellulase shown in SEQ ID NO: 16. Other preferred cellulases include those described in WO1996/029397, which discloses family 45 endoglucanases e.g. cellulases from Thielavia in particular a strain of Thielavia terrestris and the cellulases described in WO1991/017243, which discloses endoglucanases from e.g. of Humicola such as Humicola insolens.


Suitable cellulases include those from the genera Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Humicola, Myceliophthora, Fusarium, Thielavia, Trichoderma, and Acremonium. Exemplary cellulases include a fungal cellulase from Humicola insolens (U.S. Pat. No. 4,435,307) or from Trichoderma, e.g. T. reesei or T. viride. Other suitable cellulases are from Thielavia e.g. Thielavia terrestris as described in WO 96/29397 or the fungal cellulases produced from Myceliophthora thermophila and Fusarium oxysporum disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,263, 5,691,178, 5,776,757, WO 89/09259 and WO 91/17244. Also relevant are cellulases from Bacillus as described in WO 02/099091 and JP 2000210081. Suitable cellulases are alkaline or neutral cellulases having care benefits. Examples of cellulases are described in EP 0 495 257, EP 0 531 372, WO 96/11262, WO 96/29397, WO 98/08940. Other examples are cellulase variants such as those described in WO 94/07998, EP 0 531 315, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,457,046, 5,686,593, 5,763,254, WO 95/24471, WO 98/12307.

One preferred cleaning enzyme to be combined with the beta-glucanase and the DNase enzyme is a protease. Proteases are enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds. The most frequently used protease for household care segment is the serine proteases (or serine endopeptidases), E.C. 3.4.21, which are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins, in which serine serves as the nucleophilic amino acid at the active site. Suitable proteases include those of bacterial, fungal, plant, viral or animal origin e.g. vegetable or microbial origin. Microbial origin is preferred. Preferably the protease is a subtilase and even more preferably the protease belongs to the subtilisin sub group of subtilases.

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-α-naphthoic 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-1-sulfonate, 4-(decanoyloxy)benzoic acid (DOBA), sodium 4-(nonanoyloxy)benzene-1-sulfonate (NOBS), and/or those disclosed in WO98/17767.

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.

The alpha-Glucosidase reagent contains 52.4 mM HEPES, 87 mM NaCl, 12.6 mM MgCl2, 0.075 mM CaCl2, >4 kU/L alpha-glucosidase). The substrate working solution is made by mixing 1 mL of the alpha-Glucosidase reagent with 0.2 mL of the G7-pNP substrate. This substrate working solution is made immediately before use. Dilution buffer: 50 mM MOPS, 0.05% (w/v) Triton X100 (polyethylene glycol p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether (C14H22O(C2H4O)n (n=9-10))), 1 mM CaCl2), pH8.0. The amylase sample to be analyzed is diluted in dilution buffer to ensure the pH in the diluted sample is 7. The assay is performed by transferring 20 μl diluted enzyme samples to 96 well microtiter plate and adding 80 μl substrate working solution. The solution is mixed and pre-incubated 1 minute at room temperature and absorption is measured every 20 sec. over 5 minutes at OD 405 nm. The slope (absorbance per minute) of the time dependent absorption-curve is directly proportional to the specific activity (activity per mg enzyme) of the alpha-amylase in question under the given set of conditions. The amylase sample should be diluted to a level where the slope is below 0.4 absorbance units per minute.


Assay V: Testing of Cellulase Activity

An AZCL-He-cellulose (azurine dye covalently cross-linked cellulose) assay is used for detection of cellulase (endo-glucanase) activity. AZCL-He-cellulose (75 mg) is suspended in 15 mL detergent (e.g. Model detergent A). To 1 mL of this solution in Eppendorf tubes is added 100 μL enzyme (0.09 mg enzyme protein/mL), incubated for 15 min at 40° C. while shaking at 1250 rpm in a pre-heated thermo mixer and spun down for 2 min at 13200 rpm. 250 μL of the solution is transferred to a micro-titer plate and the sample absorbance is measured at 590 nm.


Assay VI: Testing of Lipase Activity

Lipase is diluted with a buffer (10 mM Succinic acid+2 mM CaCl2)+0.02% Brij 35 adjusted to pH6.5) to the specified concentration. 10 uL of the 100 ppm lipase solution is added to a 90 uL of detergent composition, stirred for 5 minutes and sealed. Samples are stored at 4° C. in detergent D002 (unstressed) and in detergent D002 at 47° C. (stressed). Storage time is 335.5 hours. After storage possible condensation liquid is collected by centrifugation. To the 100 uL stressed or unstressed sample 235 uL of buffer (0.1M Tris-HCl, 9 mM CaCl2), 0.0225% Brij-30, pH8.0+0.85% 4-FBPA (31.5 g/l)) are added corresponding to a 3.35-fold dilution. After 10 minutes stirring 5 uL sample aliquots are further diluted with the same buffer 60-fold. Then one part of this lipase dilution is mixed with four parts of 0.5 mM pNP-palmitate, 1 mM calcium chloride, 100 mM Tris (pH8.0), 6.5 mM Deoxycholate, 1.4 g/L AOS and for 30 minutes release of the pNP chromophore is measured spectrophotometrically. This is used to determine activity via the initial linear slope of the reaction. Residual activity is calculated as the ratio of the measured velocities of stressed versus unstressed sample. The median value of the residual activity is calculated based on four replicates and normalized by a lipase variant reference run with each experimental set.


Assay VII: Testing of Mannanase Activity

Mannanase activity may be tested according to standard test procedures known in the art, such as by applying a solution to be tested to 4 mm diameter holes punched out in agar plates containing 0.2% AZCL galactomannan (carob), i.e. substrate for the assay of endo-1,4-beta-D-mannanase available as CatNo.I-AZGMA from the company Megazyme (Megazyme's Internet address: http://www.megazyme.com/Purchase/index.html).


Assay VIII: Testing of Protease Activity

Proteolytic activity can be determined by a method employing Suc-AAPF-PNA as the substrate. Suc-AAPF-PNA is an abbreviation for N-Succinyl-Alanine-Alanine-Proline-Phenylalanine-p-Nitroanilide and is a blocked peptide which can be cleaved by endo-proteases. Following cleavage, a free PNA molecule is liberated, which has a yellow color and thus can be measured by visible spectrophotometry at wavelength 405 nm. The Suc-AAPF-PNA substrate is manufactured by Bachem (cat. no. L1400, dissolved in DMSO). The protease sample to be analyzed is diluted in residual activity buffer (100 mM Tris pH 8.6). The assay is performed by transferring 3 0 μl of diluted enzyme samples to 96 well microtiter plate and adding 70 μl substrate working solution (0.72 mg/ml in 100 mM Tris pH8.6). The solution is mixed at room temperature and absorption is measured every 20 seconds over 5 minutes at OD 405 nm. The slope (absorbance per minute) of the time dependent absorption-curve is directly proportional to the activity of the protease in question under the given set of conditions. The protease sample is diluted to a level where the slope is linear.

Terg-O-Tometer (TOM) Wash Assay

The Tergo-To-Meter (TOM) is a medium scale model wash system that can be applied to test 16 different wash conditions simultaneously. A TOM is basically a large temperature-controlled water bath with up to 16 open metal beakers submerged into it. Each beaker constitutes one small top loader style washing machine and during an experiment, each of them will contain a solution of a specific detergent/enzyme/polymer system and the soiled and unsoiled fabrics its performance is tested on. Mechanical stress is achieved by a rotating stirring arm, which stirs the liquid within each beaker.


The TOM model wash system is mainly used in medium scale testing of detergents, enzymes and polymers at EU or AP wash conditions. In a TOM experiment, factors such as the ballast to soil ratio and the fabric to wash liquor ratio can be varied. Therefore, the TOM provides the link between small scale experiments, and the more time-consuming full-scale experiments.


Equipment: The water bath with 16 steel beakers and 1 rotating arm per beaker with capacity of 1 L detergent solution. Temperature ranges from 5° C. to 80° C. The water bath has to be filled up with deionised water. Rotational speed can be set up to 70 to 120 rpm/min.


Set temperature in the Terg-0-Tometer and start the rotation in the water bath. Wait for the temperature to adjust (tolerance is +/−0.5° C.). All beakers shall be clean and without traces of prior test material.


The wash solution with desired amount of detergent, temperature and water hardness is prepared in a bucket. The detergent is allowed to dissolve during magnet stirring for 10 min. Wash solution shall be used within 30 to 60 min after preparation.


1 L wash solution is added into a TOM beaker. The wash solution is agitated at 120 rpm and optionally one or more enzymes or polymers are added to the beaker. The swatches are sprinkled into the beaker and then the ballast load. Time measurement starts when the swatches and ballast are added to the beaker. The swatches are washed for 20 or 30 minutes after which agitation is terminated.


The wash load is subsequently transferred from the TOM beaker to a sieve and rinse with cold tap water. The soil swatches are separated from the ballast load. The soil swatches are transferred to a 5 L beaker with cold tap water under running water for 5 minutes. The ballast load is kept separately for the coming inactivation. The water is gently pressed out of the swatches by hand and placed on a tray covered with a paper. The swatches are allowed to dry overnight before subjecting the swatches to analysis, such as measuring the delta REM.


Whiteness Panel on Real Items

Panel test is built on visual whiteness assessment by 8 panelists. To increase the panel differentiation, real items are cut into 2 equal pieces and washed by 2 conditions which is compared in pair.


Panelists are asked to give their preference according to cleaning appearance of each real item after wash in pair. Moreover, give their panel score according to following criteria:
















Degree
Score









I think this condition better
1



I know this condition better
2



I confirm this condition better
3



I confirm this much better
4











When a test condition and a benchmark are compared, a positive score means the test condition looks better/brighter/cleaner than benchmark, and a negative score indicates the test condition is inferior/darker/less clean than benchmark. The benchmark is decided in the trial and will be indicated in result presentation.


Preference % is the percentage of the panelists who prefer the test condition (in this trial the number of panelists who prefer the test condition over the benchmark divided by total of 8 panelists, calculated into %).





Average of Confidence=Σ(panel score on each item).


Light Reflectance Measurement (Delta REM)

After washing and rinsing the swatches are spread out flat and allowed to air dry at room temperature overnight. All washes are evaluated the day after the wash. Brightness can also be expressed as the Remission (R), which is a measure for the light reflected or emitted from the test material when illuminated with white light. The Remission (R) of the textiles is measured at 460 nm using a Macbeth Color Eye 7000 reflectance spectrophotometer with very small aperture The measurements are made without UV in the incident light and remission at 460 nm is extracted. The measurements are done per the manufacturer's protocol.
