Mutant alfa-amylase, DNA-sekvens som koder for den, ekspresjonsvektorer, vertsceller og anvendelse av alfa-amylasen

摘要

A mutant alpha-amylase is provided that is the expression product of a mutated DNA sequence encoding an alpha-amylase, the mutated DNA being derived from a precursor alpha-amylase, which is a Bacillus alpha-amylase, by substitution or deletion of an amino and at a position equivalent to M + 15 in B licheniformis alpha-amylase. The mutant alpha-amylase are suitable for use in detergent compositions and in process for starch liquification.
