DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A MANNANASE AND PERCARBONATE

Abstract: The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a mannanase and percarbonate for superior cleaning performance, including stain removal and/or whiteness maintenance.

Description: DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A MANNANASE AND PERCARBONATE Field of the Invention The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a mannanase and percarbonate. Background of the invention Perborate is well-known in the art as a laundry or dish additive that provide available oxygen via a hydrogen peroxide release mechanism. Perborate is broadly used in laundry or dish detergent due to its high performance and its attractive cost. However it has been recognised in the art that the side product formed during the release of hydrogen peroxide from perborate, i.e. meta borate derivatives, complex with sugar polymers such as starch and leads to cleaning negative (EP- A-736 085). It has been surprisingly found that mannose polymers such as guar gum also cross-link with perborate thereby rendering the food or cosmetic stains even harder to remove by perborate-containing detergents. It has additionally been surprisingly found that the borate cross-linking with guar gum reduces the activity of the enzyme on such gum/borate complex substrates. Indeed, food and cosmetic stains/soils represent the majority of consumer relevant stains/soils and often comprise food additives such as thickener / stabiliser agents. Indeed, hydrocolloids gums and emulsifiers are commonly used food additives. The term "gum" denotes a group of industrially useful polysaccharides (long chain polymer) or their derivatives that hydrate in hot or cold water to from viscous solutions, dispersions or gels. Gums are classified as natural and modified. Natural gums include seaweed extracts, plant extrudates, gums from seed or root, and gums obtained by microbial fermentation. Modified (semisynthetic) gums include cellulose and starch derivatives and certain synthetic gums such as low methoxyl pectin, propylene glycol alginate, and carboxymethyl and hydropropyl guar gum (Gums in Encyclopedia Chemical Technology 4 th Ed. Vol. 12, pp842-862, J. Baird, Kelco division of Merck). See also Carbohydrate Chemistry for Food Scientists (Eagan Press - 1997) by R. L. Whistler and J.N. BeMiller, Chap 4, pp63-89 and Direct Food Additives in Fruit Processing by P. Laslo, Bioprinciples and Applications, VoM , Chapter II, pp313- 325 (1996) Technomie publishing. Some of these gums such as guar gum (E412), locust bean (E410) are widely used alone or in combinations in many ffoooodd aapppplliiccaattiioonnss (Gums in ECT 4 th Ed., Vol. 12 pp842-862, J. Baird, Kelco division of Merck). The guar gum used in these food and cosmetic stains is obtained from the seed endosperm of the leguminous plant Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. The guar gum (also called guaran) extracted from the dicotyledonous seed is composed of a 1- 4, b-D-mannopyranosyl unit backbone and is used as a thickening agent in dressing and frozen products and cosmetics (H.-D. Belitz, Food Chemistry pp 243, English version of the second edition, Springer-verlag, 1987, ISBN 0-387- 15043-9 (US)) & (Carbohydrate Chemistry for Food Scientists, R.L. Wilstler, eagan press, 1997, ISBN 0-913250-92-9) & (Industrial Gum, second editions, R.L. Whistler pp 308, Academic Press, 1973, ISBN, 0-12-74-6252-x). The locus bean gum (also called carob bean gum or St Jon's bread) is also used in the food industry and is extracted from the seed of an evergreen cultivated in the Mediterranean area. The locus bean gum probably differs from the structure of guar gum only in smaller number of D-galactosyl side chains and have the same 1-4, b-D-mannopyranosyl backbone. In leguminous seeds, water-soluble galactomanann is the main storage carbohydrate, comprising up to 20% of the total dry weight in some cases. Galactomannan has a -galactose linked to O-6 of mannose residues and it can also be acetylated to various degree on O-2 and O-3 of the mannose residues. Additionally, the action of percarbonate on bleacheable stains is broadly known in the art. The active ingredient released from percarbonate, i.e. H 2 O 2 , is identical to the active ingredient released from perborate, but without the release of borate material. It has now been surprisingly discovered that the combined use of percarbonate and mannanase, especially at specific levels, provides a synergetic removal of difficult stains such as food and cosmetic stains comprising mannans, in particular at low temperatures. It has further been found that the ternary system consisting of percarbonate/ mannanase/protease at specific levels provides an even better result on said stains. Mannanases have been identified in several Bacillus organisms. For example, Talbot et al., Appl. Environ. Microbiol., vol. 56, No. 1 1 , pp. 3505-3510 (1990) describes a β-mannanase derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus in dimer form having a MW of 162 kDa and an optimum pH of 5.5-7.5. Mendoza et al., World J. Micobio. Boitech., vol. 10, no. 5, pp. 551-555 (1994) describes a β-mannanase derived from Bacillus subtilisis having a MW of 38 kDa, an optimum activity at pH 5.0 / 55°C and a pi of 4.8. J0304706 discloses a β-mannanase derived from Bacillus sp. having a MW of 37+/- 3kDa measured by gel filtration, an optimum pH of 8-10 and a pi of 5.3-5.4. J63056289 describes the production of an alkaline, thermostable β-mannase, which hydrolyses β-1 ,4-D-mannopyranoside bonds of e.g. mannans and produces manno:oligo:saccharides. J63036774 relates to a Bacillus micro-organism FERM P-8856 which produces β- mannanase and β-mannosidase, at an alkaline pH. A purified mannanase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its method of preparation useful in the bleaching of pulp and paper, is disclosed in WO97/1 1164. WO91/18974 describes an hemicellulase such as a glucanase, xylanase or mannanase, active at extreme pH and temperature and the production thereof. WO94/25576 describes an enzyme exhibiting a mannanase activity derived from Aspergillus aculeatus CBS 101.43, that might be used for various purposes for which degradation or modification of plant or algae cell wall material is desired. WO93/24622 discloses a mannanase isolated from Trichoderma reesie for bleaching lignocellulosic pulps. However, the synergistic combination of a mannanase and percarbonate, for superior cleaning performance in a detergent composition, i.e., superior stain removal, especially on mannans-containing cosmetic and food stains, dingy cleaning and whiteness maintenance, has never been previously recognised. Additionally, the synergistic combination of a mannanase and percarbonate and protease, for superior cleaning performance in a detergent composition, i.e., superior stain removal, dingy cleaning and whiteness maintenance, has never been previously recognised. Summary of the invention The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a mannanase and percarbonate. These compositions provide superior cleaning performance, i.e. superior stain removal, especially on mannans-containing cosmetic and food stains, dingy cleaning and whiteness maintenance. Detailed description of the invention An essential element of the detergent composition of the present invention is a mannanase enzyme. The use of mannanase provides significant stain removal benefits on stains such as cosmetic and food stains containing hydrocolloid gums such as Guar Gum. We have surprisingly found that the combination of perborate and mannanase provide limited performance benefits. It is believed that this limited performance is due to the presence of the meta borate that can cross-link with the hydrocolloid gum contained in the stains. In contrast, it has been found that the use of percarbonate, i.e., a material that provides available oxygen without forming meta borate derivatives, provides in combination with the mannanase of the present invention, an outstanding synergistic cleaning. Therefore, the present invention relates to the use of the mannanase enzyme in combination with percarbonate. This combination provides outstanding synergistic whitening and/or stain removal benefits on food and cosmetic stains that contain mannanase sensitive hydrocolloid gums such as Guar gum or Locus bean gum. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed the percarbonate bleaching agent does not complex with the gums present in the stains and therefore facilitate the access of the enzyme and/or of the bleaching agent to said stains. Moreover, it is believed that this synergistic effect is due to a) the use of percarbonate that bleach the chromophore of the gum containing stains without cross linking and b) the action of the mannanase on the hydrocolloid polymer to form more soluble small residues and providing provide high removal of the hydrocolloid residues known to have a high affinity for the cotton surface of the garments. Additionally, it is believed that the synergy is due to the absence of borate ions that are known to act as crossiinking agent with hydrated guar gum (see Industrial Gum, second editions, R.L. Whistler pp 317, Academic Press, 1973, ISBN, 0-12-74-6252-x). The mannanase enzyme An essential element of the detergent compositions of the present invention is a mannanase enzyme. Encompassed in the present invention are the following three mannans- degrading enzymes : EC 3.2.1.25 : β-mannosidase, EC 3.2.1.78 : Endo-1 ,4-β- mannosidase, referred therein after as "mannanase" and EC 3.2.1.100 : 1 ,4-β- mannobiosidase (IUPAC Classification- Enzyme nomenclature, 1992 ISBN 0-12- 227165-3 Academic Press). More preferably, the detergent compositions of the present invention comprise a β-1 ,4-Mannosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.78) referred to as Mannanase. The term "mannanase" or "galactomannanase" denotes a mannanase enzyme defined according to the art as officially being named mannan endo-1 ,4-beta- mannosidase and having the alternative names beta-mannanase and endo-1 ,4- mannanase and catalysing the reaction: random hydrolysis of 1 ,4-beta-D- mannosidic linkages in mannans, galactomannans, glucomannans, and galactoglucomannans. In particular, Mannanases (EC 3.2.1.78) constitute a group of poiysaccharases which degrade mannans and denote enzymes which are capable of cleaving polyose chains contaning mannose units, i.e. are capable of cleaving glycosidic bonds in mannans, glucomannans, galactomannans and galactogluco-mannans. Mannans are polysaccharides having a backbone composed of β-1 ,4- linked mannose; glucomannans are polysaccharides having a backbone or more or less regularly alternating β-1 ,4 linked mannose and glucose; galactomannans and galactoglucomannans are mannans and glucomannans with -1 ,6 linked galactose sidebranches. These compounds may be acetylated. The degradation of galactomannans and galactoglucomannans is facilitated by full or partial removal of the galactose sidebranches. Further the degradation of the acetylated mannans, glucomannans, galactomannans and galactoglucomannans is facilitated by full or partial deacetylation. Acetyl groups can be removed by alkali or by mannan acetylesterases. The oligomers which are released from the mannanases or by a combination of mannanases and α- galactosidase and/or mannan acetyl esterases can be further degraded to release free maltose by β-mannosidase and/or β-glucosidase. Mannanases have been identified in several Bacillus organisms. For example, Talbot et al., Appl. Environ. Microbiol., Vol.56, No. 11 , pp. 3505-3510 (1990) describes a beta-mannanase derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus in dimer form having molecular weight of 162 kDa and an optimum pH of 5.5-7.5. Mendoza et al., World J. Microbiol. Biotech., Vol. 10, No. 5, pp. 551-555 (1994) describes a beta-mannanase derived from Bacillus subtilis having a molecular weight of 38 kDa, an optimum activity at pH 5.0 and 55C and a pi of 4.8. JP- 0304706 discloses a beta-mannanase derived from Bacillus sp., having a molecular weight of 373 kDa measured by gel filtration, an optimum pH of 8-10 and a pi of 5.3-5.4. JP-63056289 describes the production of an alkaline, thermostable beta-mannanase which hydrolyses beta-1 ,4-D-mannopyranoside bonds of e.g. mannans and produces manno-oligosaccharides. JP-63036774 relates to the Bacillus microorganism FERM P-8856 which produces beta- mannanse and beta-mannosidase at an alkaline pH. JP-08051975 discloses alkaline beta-mannanases from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. AM-001. A purified mannanase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens useful in the bleaching of pulp and paper and a method of preparation thereof is disclosed in WO 97/11164. WO 91/18974 describes a hemicellulase such as a glucanase, xylanase or mannanase active at an extreme pH and temperature. WO 94/25576 discloses an enzyme from Aspergillus aculeatus, CBS 101.43, exhibiting mannanase activity which may be useful for degradation or modification of plant or algae cell wall material. WO 93/24622 discloses a mannanase isolated from Trichoderma reseei useful for bleaching lignocellulosic pulps. An hemicellulase capable of degrading mannan-containing hemicellulose is described in WO91/18974 and a purified mannanase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is described in WO97/11164. In particular, this mannanase enzyme will be an alkaline mannanase as defined below, most preferably, a mannanase originating from a bacterial source. Especially, the laundry detergent composition of the present invention will comprise an alkaline mannanase selected from the mannanase from the strain Bacillus agaradherens and/or Bacillus subtilisis strain 168, gene yght The term "alkaline mannanase enzyme" is meant to encompass an enzyme having an enzymatic activity of at least 10%, preferably at least 25%, more preferably at least 40% of its maximum activity at a given pH ranging from 7 to 12, preferably 7.5 to 10.5. Most preferably, the Idetergent composition of the present invention will comprise the alkaline mannanase from Bacillus agaradherens. Said mannanase is i) a polypeptide produced by Bacillus agaradherens, NCIMB 40482, or ii) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence as shown in positions 32-343 of SEQ ID NO:2 or iii) an analogue of the polypeptide defined in i) or ii) which is at least 70% homologous with said polypeptide, or is derived from said polypeptide by substitution, deletion or addition of one or several amino acids, or is immunologically reactive with a polyclonal antibody raised against said polypeptide in purified form. The present invention also encompasses an isolated polypeptide having mannanase activity selected from the group consisting of (a) polynucleotide molecules encoding a polypeptide having mannanase activity and comprising a sequence of nucleotides as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 from nucleotide 97 to nucleotide 1029; (b) species homologs of (a); (c) polynucleotide molecules that encode a polypeptide having mannanase activity that is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 from amino acid residue 32 to amino acid residue 343; (d) molecules complementary to (a), (b) or (c); and (e) degenerate nucleotide sequences of (a), (b), (c) or (d). The plasmid pSJ1678 comprising the polynucleotide molecule (the DNA sequence) encoding a mannanase of the present invention has been transformed into a strain of the Escherichia coli which was deposited by the inventors according to the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure at the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH, Mascheroder Weg 1 b, D-38124 Braunschweig, Federal Republic of Germany, on 18 May 1998 under the deposition number DSM 12180. A second most preferred enzyme is the mannanase from the Bacillus subtilisis strain 168, which mannanase: i) is encoded by the coding part of the DNA sequence shown in SED ID No. 5 or an analogue of said sequence and/or ii) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence as shown SEQ ID NO:6 or iii) an analogue of the polypeptide defined in ii) which is at least 70% homologous with said polypeptide, or is derived from said polypeptide by substitution, deletion or addition of one or several amino acids, or is immunologically reactive with a polyclonal antibody raised against said polypeptide in purified form. The present invention also encompasses an isolated polypeptide having mannanase activity selected from the group consisting of (a) polynucleotide molecules encoding a polypeptide having mannanase activity and comprising a sequence of nucleotides as shown in SEQ ID NO:5 (b) species homologs of (a); (c) polynucleotide molecules that encode a polypeptide having mannanase activity that is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6; (d) molecules complementary to (a), (b) or (c); and (e) degenerate nucleotide sequences of (a), (b), (c) or (d). DEFINITIONS Prior to discussing this invention in further detail, the following terms will first be defined : The term "ortholog" (or "species homolog") denotes a polypeptide or protein obtained from one species that has homology to an analogous polypeptide or protein from a different species. The term "paralog" denotes a polypeptide or protein obtained from a given species that has homology to a distinct polypeptide or protein from that same species. The term "expression vector" denotes a DNA molecule, linear or circular, that comprises a segment encoding a polypeptide of interest operably linked to additional segments that provide for its transcription. Such additional segments may include promoter and terminator sequences, and may optionally include one or more origins of replication, one or more selectable markers, an enhancer, a polyadenylation signal, and the like. Expression vectors are generally derived from plasmid or viral DNA, or may contain elements of both. The expression vector of the invention may be any expression vector that is conveniently subjected to recombinant DNA procedures, and the choice of vector will often depend on the host cell into which the vector it is to be introduced. Thus, the vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e. a vector which exists as an extra chromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g. a plasmid. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduced into a host cell, is integrated into the host cell genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated. The term "recombinant expressed" or "recombinantly expressed" used herein in connection with expression of a polypeptide or protein is defined according to the standard definition in the art. Recombinantly expression of a protein is generally performed by using an expression vector as described immediately above. The term "isolated", when applied to a polynucleotide molecule, denotes that the polynucleotide has been removed from its natural genetic milieu and is thus free of other extraneous or unwanted coding sequences, and is in a form suitable for use within genetically engineered protein production systems. Such isolated molecules are those that are separated from their natural environment and include cDNA and genomic clones. Isolated DNA molecules of the present invention are free of other genes with which they are ordinarily associated, but may include naturally occurring 5' and 3' untranslated regions such as promoters and terminators. The identification of associated regions will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art (see for example, Dynan and Tijan, Nature 316:774-78, 1985). The term "an isolated polynucleotide" may alternatively be termed "a cloned polynucleotide". When applied to a protein/polypeptide, the term "isolated" indicates that the protein is found in a condition other than its native environment. In a preferred form, the isolated protein is substantially free of other proteins, particularly other homologous proteins (i.e. "homologous impurities" (see below)). It is preferred to provide the protein in a greater than 40% pure form, more preferably greater than 60% pure form. Even more preferably it is preferred to provide the protein in a highly purified form, i.e., greater than 80% pure, more preferably greater than 95% pure, and even more preferably greater than 99% pure, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The term "isolated protein/polypeptide may alternatively be termed "purified protein/polypeptide". The term "homologous impurities" means any impurity (e.g., another polypeptide than the polypeptide of the invention) which originates from the homologous cell where the polypeptide of the invention is originally obtained from. The term "obtained from" as used herein in connection with a specific microbial source, means that the polynucleotide and/or polypeptide produced by the specific source, or by a cell in which a gene from the source has been inserted. The term "operably linked", when referring to DNA segments, denotes that the segments are arranged so that they function in concert for their intended purposes, e.g. transcription initiates in the promoter and proceeds through the coding segment to the terminator. The term "polynucleotide" denotes a single- or double- stranded polymer of deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide bases read from the 5' to the 3' end. Polynucleotides include RNA and DNA, and may be isolated from natural sources, synthesized in vitro, or prepared from a combination of natural and synthetic molecules. The term "complements of polynucleotide molecules" denotes polynucleotide molecules having a complementary base sequence and reverse orientation as compared to a reference sequence. For example, the sequence 5' ATGCACGGG 3' is complementary to 5' CCCGTGCAT 3'. The term "degenerate nucleotide sequence" denotes a sequence of nucleotides that includes one or more degenerate codons (as compared to a reference polynucleotide molecule that encodes a polypeptide). Degenerate codons contain different triplets of nucleotides, but encode the same amino acid residue (i.e., GAU and GAC triplets each encode Asp). The term "promoter" denotes a portion of a gene containing DNA sequences that provide for the binding of RNA polymerase and initiation of transcription. Promoter sequences are commonly, but not always, found in the 5' non-coding regions of genes. The term "secretory signal sequence" denotes a DNA sequence that encodes a polypeptide (a "secretory peptide") that, as a component of a larger polypeptide, directs the larger polypeptide through a secretory pathway of a cell in which it is synthesized. The larger peptide is commonly cleaved to remove the secretory peptide during transit through the secretory pathway. HOW TO USE A SEQUENCE OF THE INVENTION TO GET OTHER RELATED SEQUENCES. The disclosed sequence information herein relating to a polynucleotide sequence encoding a mannanase of the invention can be used as a tool to identify other homologous mannanases. For instance, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to amplify sequences encoding other homologous mannanases from a variety of microbial sources, in particular of different Bacillus species. ASSAY FOR ACTIVITY TEST A polypeptide of the invention having mannanase activity may be tested for mannanase activity according to standard test procedures known in the art, such as by applying a solution to be tested to 4 mm diameter holes punched out in agar plates containing 0.2% AZCL galactomannan (carob), i.e. substrate for the assay of endo-1 ,4-beta-D-mannanase available as CatNo.l- AZGMA from the company Megazyme for US$110.00 per 3 grams (Megazyme's Internet address: http://www.megazyme.com/Purchase/index.html). POLYNUCLEOTIDES: An isolated polynucleotide of the invention will hybridize to similar sized regions of SEQ ID No. 1 , or a sequence complementary thereto, under at least medium stringency conditions. In particular polynucleotides of the invention will hybridize to a denatured double- stranded DNA probe comprising either the full sequence shown in positions 97- 1029 of SEQ ID NO:1 or any probe comprising a subsequence of SEQ ID NO:1 having a length of at least about 100 base pairs under at least medium stringency conditions, but preferably at high stringency conditions as described in detail below. Suitable experimental conditions for determining hybridization at medium, or high stringency between a nucleotide probe and a homologous DNA or RNA sequence involves presoaking of the filter containing the DNA fragments or RNA to hybridize in 5 x SSC (Sodium chloride/Sodium citrate, Sambrook et al. 1989) for 10 min, and prehybridization of the filter in a solution of 5 x SSC, 5 x Denhardt's solution (Sambrook et al. 1989), 0.5 % SDS and 100 μg/ml of denatured sonicated salmon sperm DNA (Sambrook et al. 1989), followed by hybridization in the same solution containing a concentration of 10ng/ml of a random-primed (Feinberg, A. P. and Vogelstein, B. (1983) Anal. Biochem. 132:6- 13), 32P-dCTP-labeled (specific activity higher than 1 x 109 cpm/μg ) probe for 12 hours at ca. 45°C. The filter is then washed twice for 30 minutes in 2 x SSC, 0.5 % SDS at least 60°C (medium stringency), still more preferably at least 65°C (medium/high stringency), even more preferably at least 70°C (high stringency), and even more preferably at least 75°C (very high stringency). Molecules to which the oligonucleotide probe hybridizes under these conditions are detected using a x-ray film. As previously noted, the isolated polynucleotides of the present invention include DNA and RNA. Methods for isolating DNA and RNA are well-known in the art. DNA and RNA encoding genes of interest can be cloned in Gene Banks or DNA libraries by means of methods known in the art. Polynucleotides encoding polypeptides having mannanase activity of the invention are then identified and isolated by, for example, hybridization or PCR. The present invention further provides counterpart polypeptides and polynucleotides from different bacterial strains (orthologs or paralogs). Of particular interest are mannanase polypeptides from gram-positive alkalophilic strains, including species of Bacillus. Species homologues of a polypeptide with mannanase activity of the invention can be cloned using information and compositions provided by the present invention in combination with conventional cloning techniques. For example, a DNA sequence of the present invention can be cloned using chromosomal DNA obtained from a cell type that expresses the protein. Suitable sources of DNA can be identified by probing Northern blots with probes designed from the sequences disclosed herein. A library is then prepared from chromosomal DNA of a positive cell line. A DNA sequence of the invention encoding an polypeptide having mannanase activity can then be isolated by a variety of methods, such as by probing with probes designed from the sequences disclosed in the present specification and claims or with one or more sets of degenerate probes based on the disclosed sequences. A DNA sequence of the invention can also be cloned using the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR (Mullis, U.S. Patent 4,683,202), using primers designed from the sequences disclosed herein. Within an additional method, the DNA library can be used to transform or transfect host cells, and expression of the DNA of interest can be detected with an antibody (mono-clonal or polyclonal) raised against the mannanase cloned from B. agaradherens, NCIMB 40482, expressed and purified as described in Materials and Methods and Example 1 , or by an activity test relating to a polypeptide having mannanase activity. The mannanase encoding part of the DNA sequence cloned into plasmid pSJ1678 present in Escherichia coli DSM 12180 and/or an analogue DNA sequence of the invention may be cloned from a strain of the bacterial species Bacillus agaradherens, preferably the strain NCIMB 40482, producing the enzyme with mannan degrading activity, or another or related organism as described herein. Alternatively, the analogous sequence may be constructed on the basis of the DNA sequence obtainable from the plasmid present in Escherichia coli DSM 12180 (which is believed to be identical to the attached SEQ ID NO:1), e.g be a sub-sequence thereof, and/or by introduction of nucleotide substitutions which do not give rise to another amino acid sequence of the mannanase encoded by the DNA sequence, but which corresponds to the codon usage of the host organism intended for production of the enzyme, or by introduction of nucleotide substitutions which may give rise to a different amino acid sequence (i.e., a variant of the mannan degrading enzyme of the invention). POLYPEPTIDES: The sequence of amino acids nos. 32-343 of SEQ ID NO: 2 is a mature mannanase sequence. The present invention also provides mannanase polypeptides that are substantially homologous to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:2 and species homologs (paralogs or orthologs) thereof. The term "substantially homologous" is used herein to denote polypeptides having 70%, preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 85%, and even more preferably at least 90%, sequence identity to the sequence shown in amino acids nos. 32-343 of SEQ ID NO:2 or their orthologs or paralogs. Such polypeptides will more preferably be at least 95% identical, and most preferably 98% or more identical to the sequence shown in amino acids nos. 32-343 of SEQ ID NO:2 or its orthologs or paralogs. Percent sequence identity is determined by conventional methods, by means of computer programs known in the art such as GAP provided in the GCG program package (Program Manual for the Wisconsin Package, Version 8, August 1994, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Drive, Madison, Wisconsin, USA 53711) as disclosed in Needleman, S.B. and Wunsch, CD., (1970), Journal of Molecular Biology, 48, 443-453, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. GAP is used with the following settings for polypeptide sequence comparison: GAP creation penalty of 3.0 and GAP extension penalty of 0.1. Sequence identity of polynucleotide molecules is determined by similar methods using GAP with the following settings for DNA sequence comparison: GAP creation penalty of 5.0 and GAP extension penalty of 0.3. The enzyme preparation of the invention is preferably derived from a microorganism, preferably from a bacterium, an archea or a fungus, especially from a bacterium such as a bacterium belonging to Bacillus, preferably to an alkalophilic Bacillus strain which may be selected from the group consisting of the species Bacillus agaradherens and highly related Bacillus species in which all species preferably are at least 95%, even more preferably at least 98%, homologous to Bacillus agaradherens based on aligned 16S rDNA sequences. Substantially homologous proteins and polypeptides are characterized as having one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions. These changes are preferably of a minor nature, that is conservative amino acid substitutions (see Table 2) and other substitutions that do not significantly affect the folding or activity of the protein or polypeptide; small deletions, typically of one to about 30 amino acids; and small amino- or carboxyl-terminal extensions, such as an amino-terminal methionine residue, a small linker peptide of up to about 20-25 residues, or a small extension that facilitates purification (an affinity tag), such as a poly-histidine tract, protein A (Nilsson et al., EMBO J. 4:1075, 1985; Nilsson et al., Methods Enzymol. 198:3, 1991. See, in general Ford et al., Protein Expression and Purification 2: 95-107, 1991 , which is incorporated herein by reference. DNAs encoding affinity tags are available from commercial suppliers (e.g., Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ; New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA). However, even though the changes described above preferably are of a minor nature, such changes may also be of a larger nature such as fusion of larger polypeptides of up to 300 amino acids or more both as amino- or carboxyl- terminal extensions to a Mannanase polypeptide of the invention. Table 1 Conservative amino acid substitutions Basic arginine, lysine, histidine Acidic glutamic acid, aspartic acid Polar glutamine, asparagine Hydrophobic leucine, isoleucine, valine Aromatic phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine Small glycine, alanine, serine, threonine, methionine In addition to the 20 standard amino acids, non-standard amino acids (such as 4- hydroxyproline, 6-Λ/-methyl lysine, 2-aminoisobutyric acid, isovaline and a-methyl serine) may be substituted for amino acid residues of a polypeptide according to the invention. A limited number of non-conservative amino acids, amino acids that are not encoded by the genetic code, and unnatural amino acids may be substituted for amino acid residues. "Unnatural amino acids" have been modified after protein synthesis, and/or have a chemical structure in their side chain(s) different from that of the standard amino acids. Unnatural amino acids can be chemically synthesized, or preferably, are commercially available, and include pipecolic acid, thiazolidine carboxylic acid, dehydroproline, 3- and 4- methylproline, and 3,3-dimethylproline. Essential amino acids in the mannanase polypeptides of the present invention can be identified according to procedures known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine-scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells, Science 244: 1081-1085, 1989). In the latter technique, single alanine mutations are introduced at every residue in the molecule, and the resultant mutant molecules are tested for biological activity (i.e mannanase activity) to identify amino acid residues that are critical to the activity of the molecule. See also, Hilton et al., .1 Biol. Chem. 271:4699-4708, 1996. The active site of the enzyme or other biological interaction can also be determined by physical analysis of structure, as determined by such techniques as nuclear magnetic resonance, crystallography, electron diffraction or photoaffinity labeling, in conjunction with mutation of putative contact site amino acids. See, for example, de Vos et al., Science 255:306-312, 1992; Smith et al.. J. Mol. Biol. 224:899-904. 1992; Wlodaver et al., FEBS Lett. 309:59-64, 1992. The identities of essential amino acids can also be inferred from analysis of homologies with polypeptides which are related to a polypeptide according to the invention. Multiple amino acid substitutions can be made and tested using known methods of mutagenesis, recombination and/or shuffling followed by a relevant screening procedure, such as those disclosed by Reidhaar-Olson and Sauer (Science 241:53-57, 1988), Bowie and Sauer (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:2152-2156, 1989), W095/17413, or WO 95/22625. Briefly, these authors disclose methods for simultaneously randomizing two or more positions in a polypeptide, or recombination/shuffling of different mutations (W095/17413, W095/22625), followed by selecting for functional a polypeptide, and then sequencing the mutagenized polypeptides to determine the spectrum of allowable substitutions at each position. Other methods that can be used include phage display (e.g., Lowman et al., Biochem. 30:10832-10837. 1991 ; Ladner et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,223,409; Huse, WIPO Publication WO 92/06204) and region-directed mutagenesis (Derbyshire et al., Gene 46:145, 1986; Ner et al., DNA 7:127, 1988). Mutagenesis/shuffling methods as disclosed above can be combined with high- throughput, automated screening methods to detect activity of cloned, mutagenized polypeptides in host cells. Mutagenized DNA molecules that encode active polypeptides can be recovered from the host cells and rapidly sequenced using modern equipment. These methods allow the rapid determination of the importance of individual amino acid residues in a polypeptide of interest, and can be applied to polypeptides of unknown structure. Using the methods discussed above, one of ordinary skill in the art can identify and/or prepare a variety of polypeptides that are substantially homologous to residues 32 to 343 of SEQ ID NO: 2 and retain the mannanase activity of the wild-type protein. PROTEIN PRODUCTION: The proteins and polypeptides of the present invention, including full-length proteins, fragments thereof and fusion proteins, can be produced in genetically engineered host cells according to conventional techniques. Suitable host cells are those cell types that can be transformed or transfected with exogenous DNA and grown in culture, and include bacteria, fungal cells, and cultured higher eukaryotic cells. Bacterial cells, particularly cultured cells of gram-positive organisms, are preferred. Gram-positive cells from the genus of Bacillus are especially preferred, such as from the group consisting of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus lentus, Bacillus brevis, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus alkalophilus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus circulans, Bacillus lautus, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Bacillus agaradherens, in particular Bacillus agaradherens. Techniques for manipulating cloned DNA molecules and introducing exogenous DNA into a variety of host cells are disclosed by Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 1989; Ausubel et al. (eds.), Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., NY, 1987; and "Bacillus subtilis and Other Gram-Positive Bacteria", Sonensheim et al., 1993, American Society for Microbiology, Washington D.C., which are incorporated herein by reference. In general, a DNA sequence encoding a mannanase of the present invention is operably linked to other genetic elements required for its expression, generally including a transcription promoter and terminator within an expression vector. The vector will also commonly contain one or more selectable markers and one or more origins of replication, although those skilled in the art will recognize that within certain systems selectable markers may be provided on separate vectors, and replication of the exogenous DNA may be provided by integration into the host cell genome. Selection of promoters, terminators, selectable markers, vectors and other elements is a matter of routine design within the level of ordinary skill in the art. Many such elements are described in the literature and are available through commercial suppliers. To direct a polypeptide into the secretory pathway of a host cell, a secretory signal sequence (also known as a leader sequence, prepro sequence or pre sequence) is provided in the expression vector. The secretory signal sequence may be that of the polypeptide, or may be derived from another secreted protein or synthesized de novo. Numerous suitable secretory signal sequences are known in the art and reference is made to "Bacillus subtilis and Other Gram- Positive Bacteria", Sonensheim et al., 1993, American Society for Microbiology, Washington D.C; and Cutting, S. M.(eds.) "Molecular Biological Methods for Bacillus", John Wiley and Sons, 1990, for further description of suitable secretory signal sequences especially for secretion in a Bacillus host cell. The secretory signal sequence is joined to the DNA sequence in the correct reading frame. Secretory signal sequences are commonly positioned 5' to the DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide of interest, although certain signal sequences may be positioned elsewhere in the DNA sequence of interest (see, e.g., Welch et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,037,743; Holland et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,143,830). Transformed or transfected host cells are cultured according to conventional procedures in a culture medium containing nutrients and other components required for the growth of the chosen host cells. A variety of suitable media, including defined media and complex media, are known in the art and generally include a carbon source, a nitrogen source, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Media may also contain such components as growth factors or serum, as required. The growth medium will generally select for cells containing the exogenously added DNA by, for example, drug selection or deficiency in an essential nutrient which is complemented by the selectable marker carried on the expression vector or co-transfected into the host cell. PROTEIN ISOLATION: When the expressed recombinant polypeptide is secreted the polypeptide may be purified from the growth media. Preferably the expression host cells are removed from the media before purification of the polypeptide (e.g. by centrifugation). When the expressed recombinant polypeptide is not secreted from the host cell, the host cell are preferably disrupted and the polypeptide released into an aqueous "extract" which is the first stage of such purification techniques. Preferably the expression host cells are collected from the media before the cell disruption (e.g. by centrifugation). The cell disruption may be performed by conventional techniques such as by lysozyme digestion or by forcing the cells through high pressure. See (Robert K. Scobes, Protein Purification, Second edition, Springer-Verlag) for further description of such cell disruption techniques. Whether or not the expressed recombinant polypeptides (or chimeric polypeptides) is secreted or not it can be purified using fractionation and/or conventional purification methods and media. Ammonium sulfate precipitation and acid or chaotrope extraction may be used for fractionation of samples. Exemplary purification steps may include hydroxyapatite, size exclusion, FPLC and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Suitable anion exchange media include derivatized dextrans, agarose, cellulose, polyacrylamide, specialty silicas, and the like. PEI, DEAE, QAE and Q derivatives are preferred, with DEAE Fast-Flow Sepharose (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ) being particularly preferred. Exemplary chromatographic media include those media derivatized with phenyl, butyl, or octyl groups, such as Phenyl-Sepharose FF (Pharmacia), Toyopearl butyl 650 (Toso Haas, Montgomeryville, PA), Octyl-Sepharose (Pharmacia) and the like; or polyacrylic resins, such as Amberchrom CG 71 (Toso Haas) and the like. Suitable solid supports include glass beads, silica-based resins, cellulosic resins, agarose beads, cross-linked agarose beads, polystyrene beads, cross-linked polyacrylamide resins and the like that are insoluble under the conditions in which they are to be used. These supports may be modified with reactive groups that allow attachment of proteins by amino groups, carboxyl groups, sulfhydryl groups, hydroxyl groups and/or carbohydrate moieties. Examples of coupling chemistries include cyanogen bromide activation, N-hydroxysuccinimide activation, epoxide activation, sulfhydryl activation, hydrazide activation, and carboxyl and amino derivatives for carbodiimide coupling chemistries. These and other solid media are well-known and widely used in the art, and are available from commercial suppliers. Selection of a particular method is a matter of routine design and is determined in part by the properties of the chosen support. See, for example, Affinity Chromatography: Principles & Methods, Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Uppsala, Sweden, 1988. Polypeptides of the invention or fragments thereof may also be prepared through chemical synthesis. Polypeptides of the invention may be monomers or multimers; glycosylated or non-glycosylated; pegylated or non-pegylated; and may or may not include an initial methionine amino acid residue. Based on the sequence information disclosed herein a full length DNA sequence encoding a mannanase of the invention and comprising the DNA sequence shown in SEQ ID No 1 , at least the DNA sequence from position 97 to position 1029, may be cloned. Cloning is performed by standard procedures known in the art such as by, ■ preparing a genomic library from a Bacillus strain, especially the strain B. agaradherens, NCIMB 40482; ■ plating such a library on suitable substrate plates; ■ identifying a clone comprising a polynucleotide sequence of the invention by standard hybridization techniques using a probe based on SEQ ID No 1 ; or by ■ identifying a clone from said Bacillus agaradherens NCIMB 40482 genomic library by an Inverse PCR strategy using primers based on sequence information from SEQ ID No 1. Reference is made to M.J. MCPherson et al. ("PCR A practical approach" Information Press Ltd, Oxford England) for further details relating to Inverse PCR. Based on the sequence information disclosed herein (SEQ ID No 1 , SEQ ID No 2) is it routine work for a person skilled in the art to isolate homologous polynucleotide sequences encoding homologous mannanase of the invention by a similar strategy using genomic libraries from related microbial organisms, in particular from genomic libraries from other strains of the genus Bacillus such as alkalophilic species of Bacillus. Alternatively, the DNA encoding the mannan or galactomannan-degrading enzyme of the invention may, in accordance with well-known procedures, conveniently be cloned from a suitable source, such as any of the above mentioned organisms, by use of synthetic oligonucleotide probes prepared on the basis of the DNA sequence obtainable from the plasmid present in Escherichia coli DSM 12180. Accordingly, the polynucleotide molecule of the invention may be isolated from Escherichia coli, DSM 12180, in which the plasmid obtained by cloning such as described above is deposited. Also, the present invention relates to an isolated substantially pure biological culture of the strain Escherichia coli, DSM 12180. In the present context, the term "enzyme preparation" is intended to mean either a conventional enzymatic fermentation product, possibly isolated and purified, from a single species of a microorganism, such preparation usually comprising a number of different enzymatic activities; or a mixture of monocomponent enzymes, preferably enzymes derived from bacterial or fungal species by using conventional recombinant techniques, which enzymes have been fermented and possibly isolated and purified separately and which may originate from different species, preferably fungal or bacterial species; or the fermentation product of a microorganism which acts as a host cell for expression of a recombinant mannanase, but which microorganism simultaneously produces other enzymes, e.g. pectin degrading enzymes, proteases, or cellulases, being naturally occurring fermentation products of the microorganism, i.e. the enzyme complex conventionally produced by the corresponding naturally occurring microorganism. A method of producing the enzyme preparation of the invention, the method comprising culturing a microorganism, eg a wild-type strain, capable of producing the mannanase under conditions permitting the production of the enzyme, and recovering the enzyme from the culture. Culturing may be carried out using conventional fermentation techniques, e.g. culturing in shake flasks or fermentors with agitation to ensure sufficient aeration on a growth medium inducing production of the mannanase enzyme. The growth medium may contain a conventional N-source such as peptone, yeast extract or casamino acids, a reduced amount of a conventional C-source such as dextrose or sucrose, and an inducer such as guar gum or locust bean gum. The recovery may be carried out using conventional techniques, e.g. separation of bio-mass and supernatant by centrifugation or filtration, recovery of the supernatant or disruption of cells if the enzyme of interest is intracellular, perhaps followed by further purification as described in EP 0 406 314 or by crystallization as described in WO 97/15660. IMMUNOLOGICAL CROSS-REACTIVITY: Polyclonal antibodies to be used in determining immunological cross-reactivity may be prepared by use of a purified mannanase enzyme. More specifically, antiserum against the mannanase of the invention may be raised by immunizing rabbits (or other rodents) according to the procedure described by N. Axelsen et al. in: A Manual of Quantitative Immunoelectrophoresis, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1973, Chapter 23, or A. Johnstone and R. Thorpe, Immunochemistry in Practice, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1982 (more specifically p. 27-31). Purified immunoglobulins may be obtained from the antisera, for example by salt precipitation ((NH 4 ) 2 S0 4 ), followed by dialysis and ion exchange chromatography, e.g. on DEAE-Sephadex. Immunochemical characterization of proteins may be done either by Outcherlony double-diffusion analysis (O. Ouchterlony in: Handbook of Experimental Immunology (D.M. Weir, Ed.), Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1967, pp. 655-706), by crossed immunoelectrophoresis (N. Axelsen et al., supra, Chapters 3 and 4), or by rocket immunoelectrophoresis (N. Axelsen et al., Chapter 2). Examples of useful bacteria producing the enzyme or the enzyme preparation of the invention are Gram positive bacteria, preferably from the Bacillus/Lactobacillus subdivision, preferably a strain from the genus Bacillus, more preferably a strain of Bacillus agaradherens, especially the strain Bacillus agaradherens, NCIMB 40482. The present invention includes an isolated mannanase having the properties described above and which is free from homologous impurities, and is produced using conventional recombinant techniques. DETERMINATION OF CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (ManU) OF MANNANASE Colorimetric Assay:Substrate:0.2% AZCL-Galactomannan (Megazyme, Australia) from carob in 0.1 M Glycin buffer, pH10.0. The assay is carried out in an Eppendorf Micro tube 1.5 ml on a thermomixer with stirring and temperature control of 40°C Incubation of 0.750 ml substrate with 0.05 ml enzyme for 20 min, stop by centrifugation for 4 minutes at 15000 rpm. The color of the supernatant is measured at 600 nm in a 1 cm cuvette. One ManU (Mannanase units) gives 0.24 abs in 1 cm. OBTENTION OF THE BACILLUS AGARADHERENS MANNANASE NCIMB 40482 Strains Bacillus agaradherens NCIMB 40482 comprises the mannanase enzyme encoding DNA sequence. E. coli strain: Cells of E. coli SJ2 (Diderichsen, B., Wedsted, U., Hedegaard, L., Jensen, B. R., Sjøholm, C. (1990) Cloning of aldB, which encodes alpha- acetolactate decarboxylase, an exoenzyme from Bacillus brevis. J. Bacteriol., 172, 4315-4321), were prepared for and transformed by electroporation using a Gene Pulser™ electroporator from BIO-RAD as described by the supplier. B. subtilis PL2306. This strain is the B. subtilis DN1885 with disrupted apr and npr genes (Diderichsen, B., Wedsted, U., Hedegaard, L., Jensen, B. R., Sjøholm, C. (1990) Cloning of aldB, which encodes alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase, an exoenzyme from Bacillus brevis. J. Bacteriol., 172, 4315-4321) disrupted in the transc ptional unit of the known Bacillus subtilis cellulase gene, resulting in cellulase negative cells. The disruption was performed essentially as described in ( Eds. A.L. Sonenshein, J.A. Hoch and Richard Losick (1993) Bacillus subtilis and other Gram-Positive Bacteria, American Society for microbiology, p.618). Competent cells were prepared and transformed as described by Yasbin, R.E., Wilson, G.A. and Young, F.E. (1975) Transformation and transfection in lysogenic strains of Bacillus subtilis: evidence for selective induction of prophage in competent cells. J. Bacteriol, 121 :296-304. Piasmids pSJ1678 (as described in detail in WO 94/19454 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). pMOL944: This plasmid is a pUB110 derivative essentially containing elements making the plasmid propagatable in Bacillus subtilis, kanamycin resistance gene and having a strong promoter and signal peptide cloned from the amyL gene of B. licheniformis ATCC14580. The signal peptide contains a Sad I site making it convenient to clone the DNA encoding the mature part of a protein in-fusion with the signal peptide. This results in the expression of a Pre-protein which is directed towards the exterior of the cell. The plasmid was constructed by means of conventional genetic engineering techniques which are briefly described in the following. Construction of pMOL944: The pUB110 plasmid (McKenzie, T. et al., 1986, Plasmid 15:93-103) was digested with the unique restriction enzyme Neil. A PCR fragment amplified from the amyL promoter encoded on the plasmid pDN1981 (P.L. Jørgensen et al.,1990, Gene, 96, p37-41.) was digested with Neil and inserted in the Neil digested pUB110 to give the plasmid pSJ2624. The two PCR primers used have the following sequences: # LWN5494 5 ' -GTCGCCGGGGCGGCCGCTATCAATTGGTAACTGTATCT CAGC -3 ' # LWN5495 5 ' -GTCGCCCGGGAGCTCTGATCAGGTACCAAGCTTGTCGAC CTGCAGAATGAGGCAGCAAGAAGAT -3 ' The primer #LWN5494 inserts a Notl site in the plasmid. The plasmid pSJ2624 was then digested with Sad and Notl and a new PCR fragment amplified on amyL promoter encoded on the pDN1981 was digested with Sad and Notl and this DNA fragment was inserted in the Sad-Notl digested pSJ2624 to give the plasmid pSJ2670. This cloning replaces the first amyL promoter cloning with the same promoter but in the opposite direction. The two primers used for PCR amplification have the following sequences: #LWN5938 5 ' - GTCGGCGGCCGCTGATCACGTACCAAGCTTGTCGACCTGCAGAATG AGGCAGCAAGAAGAT -3 ' #LWN5939 5--GTCGGAGCTCTATCAATTGGTAACTGTATCTCAGC -3 ' The plasmid pSJ2670 was digested with the restriction enzymes Pstl and Bell and a PCR fragment amplified from a cloned DNA sequence encoding the alkaline amylase SP722 (disclosed in the International Patent Application published as W095/26397 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety) was digested with Pstl and Bell and inserted to give the plasmid pMOL944. The two primers used for PCR amplification have the following sequence: #LWN7864 5 ' -AACAGCTGATCACGACTGATCTTTTAGCTTGGCAC-3 ' #LWN7901 5 ' -AACTGCAGCCGCGGCACATCATAATGGGACAAATGGG -3 ' The primer #LWN7901 inserts a Sad I site in the plasmid. Cloning of the mannanase gene from Bacillus agaradherens Genomic DNA preparation: Strain Bacillus agaradherens NCIMB 40482 was propagated in liquid medium as described in WO94/01532. After 16 hours incubation at 30°C and 300 rpm, the cells were harvested, and genomic DNA isolated by the method described by Pitcher et al. (Pitcher, D. G., Saunders, N. A., Owen, R. J. (1989). Rapid extraction of bacterial genomic DNA with guanidium thiocyanate. Lett. Appl. Microbiol., 8, 151-156). Genomic library construction: Genomic DNA was partially digested with restriction enzyme Sau3A, and size- fractionated by electrophoresis on a 0.7 % agarose gel. Fragments between 2 and 7 kb in size was isolated by electrophoresis onto DEAE-cellulose paper (Dretzen, G., Bellard, M., Sassone-Corsi, P., Chambon, P. (1981) A reliable method for the recovery of DNA fragments from agarose and acrylamide gels. Anal. Biochem., 112, 295-298). Isolated DNA fragments were ligated to BamHl digested pSJ1678 plasmid DNA, and the ligation mixture was used to transform E. coli SJ2. Identification of positive clones: A DNA library in E. coli, constructed as described above, was screened on LB agar plates containing 0.2% AZCL-galactomannan (Megazyme) and 9 μg/ml Chloramphenicol and incubated overnight at 37°C Clones expressing mannanase activity appeared with blue diffusion halos. Plasmid DNA from one of these clone was isolated by Qiagen plasmid spin preps on 1 ml of overnight culture broth (cells incubated at 37°C in TY with 9 μg/ml Chloramphenicol and shaking at 250 rpm). This clone (MB525) was further characterized by DNA sequencing of the cloned Sau3A DNA fragment. DNA sequencing was carried out by primerwalking, using the Taq deoxy-terminal cycle sequencing kit (Perkin-Elmer, USA), fluorescent labelled terminators and appropπate oligonucleotides as primers. Analysis of the sequence data was performed according to Devereux et al. (1984) Nucleic Acids Res. 12, 387-395. The sequence encoding the mannanase is shown in SEQ ID No 1. The derived protein sequence is shown in SEQ ID No.2. Subcloning and expression of mannanase in B. subtilis: The mannanase encoding DNA sequence of the invention was PCR amplified using the PCR primer set consisting of these two oligo nucleotides: Mannanase. upper.Sacll 5'-CAT TCT GCA GCC GCG GCA GCAAGTACA GGC TTT TAT GTT GAT GG- 3' Mannanase. lower.Notl 5'-GAC GAC GTA CAA GCG GCC GCG CTA TTT CCC TAA CAT GAT GAT ATT TTC G -3' Restriction sites Sacll and Notll are underlined. Chromosomal DNA isolated from B. agaradherens NCIMB 40482 as described above was used as template in a PCR reaction using Amplitaq DNA Polymerase (Perkin Elmer) according to manufacturers instructions. The PCR reaction was set up in PCR buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 50 mM KCI, 1.5 mM MgCI 2 , 0.01 % (w/v) gelatin) containing 200 μM of each dNTP, 2.5 units of AmpliTaq polymerase (Perkin-Elmer, Cetus, USA) and 100 pmol of each primer. The PCR reaction was performed using a DNA thermal cycler (Landgraf, Germany). One incubation at 94°C for 1 min followed by thirty cycles of PCR performed using a cycle profile of denaturation at 94°C for 30 sec, annealing at 60°C for 1 min, and extension at 72°C for 2 min. Five-μl aliquots of the amplification product was analysed by electrophoresis in 0.7 % agarose gels (NuSieve, FMC). The appearance of a DNA fragment size 1.4 kb indicated proper amplification of the gene segment. Subcloning of PCR fragment. Fortyfive-μl aliquots of the PCR products generated as described above were purified using QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The purified DNA was eluted in 50 μl of 10mM Tris- HCl, pH 8.5. 5 μg of pMOL944 and twentyfive-μl of the purified PCR fragment was digested with Sacll and Notl, electrophoresed in 0.8% low gelling temperature agarose (SeaPlaque GTG, FMC) gels, the relevant fragments were excised from the gels, and purified using QIAquick Gel extraction Kit (Qiagen, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The isolated PCR DNA fragment was then ligated to the Sacll-Notl digested and purified pMOL944. The ligation was performed overnight at 16°C using 0.5μg of each DNA fragment, 1 U of T4 DNA ligase and T4 ligase buffer (Boehringer Mannheim, Germany). The ligation mixture was used to transform competent B. subtilis PL2306. The transformed cells were plated onto LBPG-10 μg/ml of Kanamycin plates. After 18 hours incubation at 37°C colonies were seen on plates. Several clones were analysed by isolating plasmid DNA from overnight culture broth. One such positive clone was restreaked several times on agar plates as used above, this clone was called MB594. The clone MB594 was grown overnight in TY-10 μg/ml kanamycin at 37°C, and next day 1 ml of cells were used to isolate plasmid from the cells using the Qiaprep Spin Plasmid Miniprep Kit #27106 according to the manufacturers recommendations for B. subtilis plasmid preparations. This DNA was DNA sequenced and revealed the DNA sequence corresponding to the mature part of the mannanase, i.e. positions 94-1404 of the appended SEQ ID NO:3. The derived mature protein is shown in SEQ ID NO:4. It will appear that the 3' end of the mannanse encoded by the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 was changed to the one shown in SEQ ID NO:3 due to the design of the lower primer used in the PCR. The resulting amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:4 and it is apparent that the C terminus of the SEQ ID NO:2 (SHHVREIGVQFSAADNSSGQTALYVDNVTLR) is changed to the C terminus of SEQ ID NO:4 (IIMLGK). Media: TY (as described in Ausubel, F. M. et al. (eds.) "Current protocols in Molecular Biology". John Wiley and Sons, 1995). LB agar (as described in Ausubel, F. M. et al. (eds.) "Current protocols in Molecular Biology". John Wiley and Sons, 1995). LBPG is LB agar (see above) supplemented with 0.5% Glucose and 0.05 M potassium phosphate, pH 7.0 BPX media is described in EP 0 506 780 (WO 91/09129). Expression, purification and characterisation of mannanase from Bacillus agaradherens The clone MB 594 obtained as described above under Materials and Methods was grown in 25 x 200ml BPX media with 10 μg/ml of Kanamycin in 500ml two baffled shakeflasks for 5 days at 37°C at 300 rpm. 6500 ml of the shake flask culture fluid of the clone MB 594 (batch #9813) was collected and pH adjusted to 5.5. 146 ml of cationic agent (C521) and 292 ml of anionic agent (A130) was added during agitation for flocculation. The flocculated material was separated by centrifugation using a Sorval RC 3B centrifuge at 9000 rpm for 20 min at 6°C The supernatant was clarified using Whatman glass filters GF/D and C and finally concentrated on a filtron with a cut off of 10 kDa. 750 ml of this concentrate was adjusted to pH 7.5 using sodium hydroxide. The clear solution was applied to anion-exchange chromatography using a 900 ml Q- Sepharose column equilibrated with 50 mmol Tris pH 7.5. The mannanase activity bound was eluted using a sodium chloride gradient. The pure enzyme gave a single band in SDS-PAGE with a molecular weight of 38 kDa. The amino acid sequence of the mannanase enzyme, i.e. the translated DNA sequence, is shown in SEQ ID No.2. Determination of kinetic constants: Substrate: Locust bean gum (carob) and reducing sugar analysis (PHBAH). Locust bean gum from Sigma (G-0753). Kinetic determination using different concentrations of locust bean gum and incubation for 20 min at 40°C at pH 10 gave Kcat: 467 per sec. K m : 0.08 gram per I MW: 38kDa pi (isoelectric point): 4.2 The temperature optimum of the mannanase was found to be 60°C The pH activity profile showed maximum activity between pH 8 and 10. DSC differential scanning calometry gives 77°C as melting point at pH 7.5 in Tris buffer indicating that this enzyme is very thermostable. Detergent compatibility using 0.2% AZCL-Galactomannan from carob as substrate and incubation as described above at 40°C shows excellent compatibility with conventional liquid detergents and good compatibility with conventional powder detergents. OBTENTION OF THE BACILLUS SUBTILISIS MANNANASE 168 The Bacillus subtilisis β-mannanase was characterised and purified as follows : The Bacillus subtilis genome was searched for homology with a known Bacillus sp β-Mannanase gene sequence (Mendoza et al., Biochemica et Biophvsica Acta 1243:552-554, 1995). The coding region of ydh T, whose product was unknown, showed a 58% similarity to the known Bacillus β-Mannanase. The following oligonucleotides were designed to amplify the sequences coding for the mature portion of the putative β-Mannanase: 5'-GCT CAA TTG GCG CAT ACT GTG TCG CCT GTG-3' and 5'-GAC GGA TCC CGG ATT CAC TCA ACG ATT GGC G-3'. Total genomic DNA from Bacillus subtilis strain 1A95 was used as a template to amplify the ydhT mature region using the aforementioned primers. PCR is performed using the GENE-AMP PCR Kit with AMPLITAQ DNA Polymerase (Perkin Elmer, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). An initial melting period at 95°C for 5 min was followed by 25 cycles of the following program: melting at 95°C for 1 min, annealing at 55°C for 2 min, and extension at 72°C for 2 min. After the last cycle, the reaction was held at 72°C for 10 min to complete extension. The PCR products were purified using QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA). The ydhT mature region amplified from Bacillus subtilis strain 1A95 was inserted into the expression vector pPG1524 (previously described) as follows. The amplified 1028bp fragment was digested with Mfe I and Bam I. The expression vector pPG1527 was digested with EcoR I and SamH I. The restriction products were purified using QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA). The two fragments were ligated using T4 DNA ligase (13 hr, 16°C) and used to transform competent E. coli strain DH5-α. Ampicilin resistant colonies were cultured for DNA preparations. The DNA was then characterized by restriction analysis. Plasmid pPG3200 contains the mature region of the ydhT gene. Plasmid pPG3200 was then used to transform competent Bacillus subtilis strain PG 632 (Saunders et al., 1992). Seven kanamycin resistant Bacillus subtilis clones and one PG 632 control clone were picked and grown in 20ml of 20/20/5 media ( 20g/l tryptone, 20g/l yeast extract, 5g/l NaCl ) supplemented with 1ml 25% maltrin, 120μl 10mM MnCl2, and 20μl of 50 mg/ml kanamycin. Clones were grown overnight in 250ml baffled flasks shaking at 250 rpm at 37°C for expression of the protein. Cells were spun out at 14,000rpm for 15 minutes. One μl of each supernatant was diluted in 99μl of 50mM sodium acetate (pH 6.0). One μl of this dilution was assayed using the endo-1 ,4-β-Mannanase Beta-Mannazyme Tabs (Megazyme, Ireland) according to the manufacturers instructions. Absorbance was read at 590 nm on a Beckman DU640 spectrophotometer. Clone 7 showed the highest Absorbance of 1.67. The PG632 control showed no Absorbance at 590nm. Supernatant was analyzed by SDS-PAGE on a 10-20% Tris-Glycine gel (Novex, San Diego, Ca) to confirm expected protein size of 38kDa. Samples were prepared as follows. A 500μl sample of ydhT clone 7 and PG 632 supematants were precipitated with 55.5μl 100% Trichloroacetic acid (Sigma), washed with 100μl 5% Trichloroacetic, resuspended in 50μl of Tris-glycine SDS sample buffer(Novex) and boiled for five minutes. One μl of each sample was electrophoresed on the gel at 30 mA for 90minutes. A large band of protein was observed to run at 38kDa for ydhT clone 7. A 10 I fermentation of Bacillus subtilis ydhT clone 7 was performed in a B.Braun Biostat C fermentator. Fermentation conditions were as follows. Cells were grown for 18h in a rich media similar to 20/20/5 at 37°C At the end of the fermentation run, the cells were removed and the supernatant concentrated to 1 liter using a tangential flow filtration system. The final yield of β-Mannanase in the concentrated supernatant was determined to be 3 g/l. The purification of the β-Mannanase from the fermentation supernatant was performed as follows: 500ml of supernatant was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The centrifuged supernatant was then dialyzed overnight at 4°C in two 4 I changes of 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.2) through Spectrapor 12,000-14,000 mol.wt. cutoff membrane (Spectrum). The dialyzed supernatant was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C A 200 ml Q Sepharose fast flow (Pharmacia) anion exchange column was equilibrated with 1 liter of 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.2) at 20°C and 300ml of supernatant was loaded on column. Two flow through fractions of 210 ml (sample A) and 175 ml (sample B) were collected. The two fractions were assayed as before, except that the samples were diluted with 199 μl of 50 mM sodium acetate (pH 6.0), and they showed Absorbance of .38 and .52 respectively. Two μl of each sample was added to 8μl of Tris-glycine SDS sample buffer (Novex, CA) and boiled for 5 min. The resulting samples were electrophoresed on a 10-20% Tris-Glycine gel (Novex, Ca) at 30 mA for 90minutes. A major band corresponding to 38kDa was present in each sample and comprised greater than 95% of the total protein. A BCA protein assay (Pierce) was performed on both samples according to the manufacturers instructions, using bovine serum albumin as standard. Samples A and B contained 1.3 mg/ml and 1.6 mg/ml of β-Mannanase respectively. The identity of the protein was confirmed by ion spray mass spectrometry and amino terminal amino acid sequence analysis. The purified β-Mannanase samples were used to characterize the enzymes activity as follows. All assays used endo-1 ,4-β-Mannanase Beta-Mannazyme Tabs (Megazyme, Ireland) as described earlier. Activity at pH range 3.0-9.0 were performed in 50 mM citrate phosphate buffer, for activity determination at pH 9.5, 50 mM CAPSO (Sigma), and for pH 10.0-11.0 range 50 mM CAPS buffer was employed. The optimum pH for the Bacillus subtilis β-Mannanase was found to be pH 6.0-6.5. Temperature activity profiles were performed in 50mM citrate phosphate buffer (pH 6.5). The enzyme showed optimum activity at 40-45°C The Bacillus subtilis β-Mannanase retained significant activity at less than 15°C and greater than 80°C Specific activity against β-1 ,4-Galactomannan was determined to be 160,000 μmol/min»mg β-Mannanase using endo-1 ,4-β- Mannanase Beta-Mannazyme Tabs (Megazyme, Ireland) according to the manufacturers directions. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the Bacillus subtilisis β-mannanase are shown in SEQ. ID. No. 5 and 6. The mannanase is incorporated into the compositions of the invention preferably at a level of from 0.0001 % to 2%, more preferably from 0.0005% to 0.1%, most preferred from 0.001% to 0.02% pure enzyme by weight of the composition. The enzyme of the invention, in addition to the enzyme core comprising the catalytically domain, also comprise a cellulose binding domain (CBD), the cellulose binding domain and enzyme core (the catalytically active domain) of the enzyme being operably linked. The cellulose binding domain (CBD) may exist as an integral part of the encoded enzyme, or a CBD from another origin may be introduced into the enzyme thus creating an enzyme hybrid. In this context, the term "cellulose-binding domain" is intended to be understood as defined by Peter Tomme et al. "Cellulose-Binding Domains: Classification and Properties" in "Enzymatic Degradation of Insoluble Carbohydrates", John N. Saddler and Michael H. Penner (Eds.), ACS Symposium Series, No. 618, 1996. This definition classifies more than 120 cellulose- binding domains into 10 families (l-X), and demonstrates that CBDs are found in various enzymes such as cellulases, xylanases, mannanases, arabinofuranosidases, acetyl esterases and chitinases. CBDs have also been found in algae, e.g. the red alga Porphyra purpurea as a non-hydrolytic polysaccharide-binding protein, see Tomme et al., op.cit. However, most of the CBDs are from cellulases and xylanases, CBDs are found at the N and C termini of proteins or are internal. Enzyme hybrids are known in the art, see e.g. WO 90/00609 and WO 95/16782, and may be prepared by transforming into a host cell a DNA construct comprising at least a fragment of DNA encoding the cellulose- binding domain ligated, with or without a linker, to a DNA sequence encoding the mannanase enzyme and growing the host cell to express the fused gene. Enzyme hybrids may be described by the following formula: CBD - MR - X wherein CBD is the N-terminal or the C-terminal region of an amino acid sequence corresponding to at least the cellulose- binding domain; MR is the middle region (the linker), and may be a bond, or a short linking group preferably of from about 2 to about 100 carbon atoms, more preferably of from 2 to 40 carbon atoms; or is preferably from about 2 to to about 100 amino acids, more preferably of from 2 to 40 amino acids; and X is an N-terminal or C-terminal region of the enzyme of the invention. The above-mentioned enzymes may be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. Origin can further be mesophilic or extremophilic (psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halophilic, etc.). Purified or non-purified forms of these enzymes may be used. Nowadays, it is common practice to modify wild-type enzymes via protein / genetic engineering techniques in order to optimise their performance efficiency in the cleaning compositions of the invention. For example, the variants may be designed such that the compatibility of the enzyme to commonly encountered ingredients of such compositions is increased. Alternatively, the variant may be designed such that the optimal pH, bleach or chelant stability, catalytic activity and the like, of the enzyme variant is tailored to suit the particular cleaning application. In particular, attention should be focused on amino acids sensitive to oxidation in the case of bleach stability and on surface charges for the surfactant compatibility. The isoelectric point of such enzymes may be modified by the substitution of some charged amino acids, e.g. an increase in isoelectric point may help to improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes may be further enhanced by the creation of e.g. additional salt bridges and enforcing metal binding sites to increase chelant stability.

Sodium percarbonate is an addition compound having a formula corresponding to 2Na2Cθ3 3H2O2. To enhance storage stability the percarbonate bleach can be coated with e.g. a further mixed salt of an alkali metal sulphate and carbonate. Such coatings together with coating processes have previously been described in GB-1 ,466,799, granted to Interox on 9th March 1977.

The lipases and/or cutinases are normally incorporated in the detergent composition at levels from 0.0001% to 2% of pure enzyme by weight of the detergent composition. Amylases (α and/or β) can be included for removal of carbohydrate-based stains. WO94/02597, Novo Nordisk A/S published February 03, 1994, describes detergent compositions which incorporate mutant amylases. See also WO95/10603, Novo Nordisk A/S, published April 20, 1995. Other amylases known for use in detergent compositions include both α- and β-amylases. α- Amylases are known in the art and include those disclosed in US Pat. no. 5,003,257; EP 252,666; WO/91/00353; FR 2,676,456; EP 285,123; EP 525,610; EP 368,341 ; and British Patent specification no. 1 ,296,839 (Novo). Other suitable amylases are stability-enhanced amylases described in W094/18314, published August 18, 1994 and WO96/05295, Genencor, published February 22, 1996 and amylase variants having additional modification in the immediate parent available from Novo Nordisk A/S, disclosed in WO 95/10603, published April 95.

Examples of commercial α-amylases products are Purafect Ox Am® from Genencor and Termamyl®, Ban® ,Fungamyl® and Duramyl®, all available from Novo Nordisk A/S Denmark. W095/26397 describes other suitable amylases : α- amylases characterised by having a specific activity at least 25% higher than the specific activity of Termamyl® at a temperature range of 25°C to 55°C and at a pH value in the range of 8 to 10, measured by the Phadebas® α-amylase activity assay. Suitable are variants of the above enzymes, described in W096/23873 (Novo Nordisk). Other amylolytic enzymes with improved properties with respect to the activity level and the combination of thermostability and a higher activity level are described in W095/35382. The amylolytic enzymes are incorporated in the detergent compositions of the present invention a level of from 0.0001 % to 2%, preferably from 0.00018% to 0.06%, more preferably from 0.00024% to 0.048% pure enzyme by weight of the composition. The above-mentioned enzymes may be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. Origin can further be mesophilic or extremophilic (psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halophilic, etc.). Purified or non-purified forms of these enzymes may be used. Nowadays, it is common practice to modify wild-type enzymes via protein / genetic engineering techniques in order to optimise their performance efficiency in the detergent compositions of the invention. For example, the variants may be designed such that the compatibility of the enzyme to commonly encountered ingredients of such compositions is increased. Alternatively, the variant may be designed such that the optimal pH, bleach or chelant stability, catalytic activity and the like, of the enzyme variant is tailored to suit the particular cleaning application. In particular, attention should be focused on amino acids sensitive to oxidation in the case of bleach stability and on surface charges for the surfactant compatibility. The isoelectric point of such enzymes may be modified by the substitution of some charged amino acids, e.g. an increase in isoelectric point may help to improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes may be further enhanced by the creation of e.g. additional salt bridges and enforcing calcium binding sites to increase chelant stability. Special attention must be paid to the cellulases as most of the cellulases have separate binding domains (CBD). Properties of such enzymes can be altered by modifications in these domains. Said enzymes are normally incorporated in the detergent composition at levels from 0.0001% to 2% of pure enzyme by weight of the detergent composition. The enzymes can be added as separate single ingredients (prills, granulates, stabilized liquids, etc., containing one enzyme ) or as mixtures of two or more enzymes (e.g. cogranulates ). Other suitable detergent ingredients that can be added are enzyme oxidation scavengers which are described in co-pending European Patent application 92870018.6 filed on January 31 , 1992. Examples of such enzyme oxidation scavengers are ethoxylated tetraethylene polyamines.

In one embodiment, the cross-linked polymers are made in such a way that they form a three-dimensional rigid structure, which can entrap dyes in the pores formed by the three-dimensional structure. In another embodiment, the cross- linked polymers entrap the dyes by swelling. Such cross-linked polymers are described in the co-pending patent application 94870213.9 Method of washing The compositions of the invention may be used in essentially any washing or cleaning methods, including soaking methods, pretreatment methods and methods with rinsing steps for which a separate rinse aid composition may be added. The process descπbed herein comprises contacting fabrics or dishware with a cleaning solution in the usual manner and exemplified hereunder. The process of the invention is conveniently carried out in the course of the cleaning process. The method of cleaning is preferably carried out at 5°C to 95°C, especially between 10°C and 60°C The pH of the treatment solution is preferably from 7 to 12. A preferred machine dishwashing method comprises treating soiled articles with an aqueous liquid having dissolved or dispensed therein an effective amount of the machine diswashing or rinsing composition. A conventional effective amount of the machine dishwashing composition means from 8-60 g of product dissolved or dispersed in a wash volume from 3-10 litres. According to a manual dishwashing method, soiled dishes are contacted with an effective amount of the diswashing composition, typically from 0.5-20g (per 25 dishes being treated). Preferred manual dishwashing methods include the application of a concentrated solution to the surfaces of the dishes or the soaking in large volume of dilute solution of the detergent composition. The following examples are meant to exemplify compositions of the present invention, but are not necessarily meant to limit or otherwise define the scope of the invention.
