Abstract

An enzyme exhibiting endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activity (EC 3.2.1.4), which is selected from one of a) a polypeptide encoded by the DNA sequence of positions 1 to 2322 of SEQ ID NO:1,b) a polypeptide produced by culturing a cell comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 under conditions wherein the DNA sequence is expressed; c) an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase enzyme having a sequence of at least 97% identity to the amino acid sequence of position 1 to position 773 of SEQ ID NO:2, and fragments thereof exhibitng endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activity, and d) a polypeptide having endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activity that is encoded by a polynucleo-tide that hybridizes with the nucleotide sequence shown in positions 1-2322 of SEQ ID NO:1, is useful for detergent and textile applications.
