Thermophilic phospholipases and method for production thereof

摘要

Disclosed are a thermophilic phospholipase having an optimum temperature range of 95 to 105 DEG C. which is useful in high-temperature degumming processes in oil refining process and high-temperature processing of phospholipids; and a method for producing a thermophilic phospholipase comprising culturing a microorganism capable of producing the phospholipase in a culture medium and collecting the phospholipase from the resultant culture.
