Abstract

The inventors have identified polypeptides having lipase activity in anaerobic thermophilic bacteria. Accordingly, the invention provides a process for hydrolyzing an ester bond in a substrate, which comprises treating the substrate with a particular lipase (a polypeptide having lipase activity). The invention also provides a lipase for use in the process and a polynucleotide encoding the lipase.
