PCT No. PCT/FI93/00219 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 22, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 22, 1994 PCT Filed May 24, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/24622 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 9, 1993The present invention relates to a DNA sequence, which codes for endomannanase produced by fungi of the genus Trichoderma and transferred into a yeast or fungus strain induces that strain to produce endomannanase, as well as to a method for isolating genes coding for endomannanases. The invention also relates to vectors, yeast strains and fungal strains containing the DNA sequence. Furthermore, the invention provides an enzyme product containing at least one endomannanase, which contains at least one of the following endomannanases produced by fungi of the Trichoderma genus: an enzyme having mannanase activity and an isoelectric point (pI) of about 3.8, an enzyme having mannanase activity and a pI of about 4.1, an enzyme having mannanase activity and a pI of about 4.5, an enzyme having mannanase activity and a pI of about 5.4 and an enzyme having mannanase activity and a pI of about 6.5, the isoelectric points being determined by isoelectric focusing. The endomannanase enzyme and enzyme products according to the invention can be used for hydrolyzation of mannopolymers, in particular in connection with bleaching of lignocellulosic pulps. |
