Abstract

A novel xylanase, obtained from Bacillus subtilis strains, is provided which improves the consistency and increases the volume of bread and baked goods containing it. B. subtilis DSM 7147 containing the plasmid pIK 91 produces the xylanase. Genetic engineering insertion of the gene encoding the xylanase in the plasmid pUB110 is described.
