Abstract

The invention relates to a DNA sequence that encodes a polypeptide with phospholipase activity and was isolated from Aspergillus and sequences derived therefrom, polypeptides with phospholipase activity encoded by these sequences as well as the use of these polypeptides for degumming of vegetable oil, for the preparation of dough and/or bakery products, for the preparation of dairy products, for processing steps in the textile industry and for related applications.
