PCT No. PCT/DK95/00347 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 25, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 25, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 28, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/06931 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 7, 1996Transglutaminase preparations are producible by a wide range of fungi, especially ascomycotina, basidiomycotina and zygomycota, and gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, especially Streptomyces lydicus, NRRL B-3446. A DNA construct encoding a novel transglutaminase and comprising the DNA sequence obtainable from the plasmid in E. coli, DSM 10175, is also described together with a method of producing the transglutaminases, a composition comprising the transglutaminase and a method for producing a gel or protein gelation composition.
