     DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART 
     Enzymes have been used in detergents for decades. Usually a cocktail of various enzymes is added to detergent compositions. The enzyme cocktail often comprises various enzymes, wherein each enzyme targets it specific substrate e.g. amylases are active towards starch stains, proteases on protein stains and so forth. Textiles surface and hard surfaces, such as dishes or the inner space of a laundry machine enduring a number of wash cycles, become soiled with many different types of soiling which may compose of proteins, grease, starch etc. One type of stain may compose of organic matter, such as cell debris, biofilm, EPS, etc. Polypeptides having hexosaminidase activity include Dispersins such as Dispersin B (DspB), which are described as β-N-acetylglucosamininidases belonging to the Glycoside Hydrolase 20 family.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Various enzymes are applied in cleaning processes each targeting specific types of soiling such as protein, starch and grease soiling. Enzymes are standard ingredients in detergents for laundry and dish wash. The effectiveness of these commercial enzymes provides detergents which removes much of the soiling. However, organic stains such as EPS (extracellular polymeric substance) comprised in much biofilm constitute a challenging type of soiling due to the complex nature of such organic matters. EPS is mostly composed of polysaccharides (exopolysaccharides) e.g. PNAG (poly-N-acetylglucosamine) and proteins, but include other macro-molecules such as eDNA, lipids and other organic substances. Organic stains, like biofilm or components hereof, such as PNAG may be sticky or glueing, which when present on textile, may give rise to redeposition or backstaining of soil resulting in a greying of the textile. Further, when dirty laundry items are washed together with less dirty laundry items the dirt present in the wash liquor tend to stick to organic stains e.g. biofilm or biofilm components as a result, hereof the laundry item is more “soiled” after wash than before wash. This effect may also be termed redeposition. Another drawback of organic stains is the malodor as various malodor related molecules are often associated with organic stains such as biofilm. 
     The present invention relates to the use, methods and composition comprising hexosaminidases obtained from  Staphylococcus . The terms “ Staphylococcus  hexosaminidase” and “hexosaminidase obtained from  Staphylococcus ” are used interchangeably throughout. The hexosaminidases are preferably dispersins and comprises N-acetylglucosaminidase and/or 13-1,6-N-acetylglucosamininidase activity. 
     Polypeptides Having Hexosaminidase Activity 
     Hexosaminidase: 
     The term “hexosaminidases” means a polypeptide having hexosaminidase activity (hexosaminidases), and includes EC 3.2.1. e.g. that catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-D-hexosamine or N-acetyl-glucosamine polymers found e.g. in biofilm. The term includes dispersins and includes polypeptides having N-acetylglucosaminidase activity and β-1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. The term “polypeptide having hexosaminidase activity” may be used interchangeably with the term hexosaminidases and similar the term “polypeptide having beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity” may be used interchangeably with the term beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosamininidases. For the purposes of the present invention, hexosaminidase activity may be determined according to the procedure described in Assay I or as described in Example 7. 
     Dispersin: 
     The term “dispersin” and the abbreviation “Dsp” means a polypeptide having hexosaminidase activity, EC 3.2.1.—that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-1,6-glycosidic linkages of N-acetyl-glucosamine polymers (poly-N-acetylglucosamine, PNAG) found e.g. in biofilm. Thus, dispersins is an enzyme having beta-1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. 
     The polypeptide of the invention is comprised in a specific clade of hexosaminidases. This clade is in the present context termed  Staphylococcus  as the hexosaminidases from the clade are obtained from bacteria within the taxonomic family Staphylococcaceae, preferably from the  Staphylococcus  genus. For purposes of the present invention, the term “obtained from” as used herein in connection with a given source shall mean that the polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide is produced by the source or by a strain in which the polynucleotide from the source has been inserted. In one aspect, the polypeptide obtained from a given source is secreted extracellularly. 
     The phylogenetic tree of the  Staphylococcus  clade is shown in  FIG. 1 . The polypeptides comprising in the  Staphylococcus  clade, which finds use in cleaning processes and compositions of the invention are listed in the table below. The hexosaminidases of Table 1 have 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity and are thus dispersins. The dispersins of this group have been found to be particularly useful in cleaning of organic stains e.g. PNAG from textiles. In particular, dispersins of Table 1 may be formulated in cleaning composition, comprising a dispersin obtained from  Staphylococcus  and a detergent adjunct. The compositions of the invention are useful in cleaning processes such as laundry.

     An alignment of the polypeptides of the invention is shown in  FIG. 2 . A phylogenetic tree of the polypeptides of the invention is shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     A polypeptide of the present invention preferably has a sequence identity to the mature polypeptide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 of at least 60%, e.g., at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%, wherein the polypeptide has hexosaminidase, preferably 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. In one aspect, the polypeptide differs by up to 10 amino acids, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, from the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 and preferably has beta-1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. 
     A polypeptide of the present invention preferably has a sequence identity to the mature polypeptide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 of at least 60%, e.g., at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%, wherein the polypeptide has hexosaminidase, preferably 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. In one aspect, the polypeptide differs by up to 10 amino acids, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, from the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 and preferably has beta-1,6 N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. 
     The relatedness between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the parameter “sequence identity”. 
     For purposes of the present invention, the sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970 , J. Mol. Biol.  48: 443-453) as implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000 , Trends Genet.  16: 276-277), preferably version 5.0.0 or later. The parameters used are gap open penalty of 10, gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. The output of Needle labeled “longest identity” (obtained using the -nobrief option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows: 
       (Identical Residues×100)/(Length of Alignment−Total Number of Gaps in Alignment).
 
     Essential amino acids in a polypeptide can be identified according to procedures known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine-scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells, 1989 , Science  244: 1081-1085). In the latter technique, single alanine mutations are introduced at every residue in the molecule, and the resultant molecules are tested for hexosaminidase activity to identify amino acid residues that are critical to the activity of the molecule. See also, Hilton et al., 1996 , J. Biol. Chem.  271: 4699-4708. 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., 1992 , Science  255: 306-312; Smith et al., 1992 , J. Mol. Biol.  224: 899-904; Wlodaver et al., 1992 , FEBS Lett.  309: 59-64. The identity of essential amino acids can also be inferred from an alignment with a related polypeptide

     An embodiment of the invention relates to an enzyme granule/particle comprising a  Staphylococcus  hexosaminidase of the invention. The granule is composed of a core, and optionally one or more coatings (outer layers) surrounding the core. Typically, the granule/particle size, measured as equivalent spherical diameter (volume based average particle size), of the granule is 20-2000 μm, particularly 50-1500 μm, 100-1500 μm or 250-1200 μm. The core may include additional materials such as fillers, fibre materials (cellulose or synthetic fibres), stabilizing agents, solubilising agents, suspension agents, viscosity regulating agents, light spheres, plasticizers, salts, lubricants and fragrances. The core may include binders, such as synthetic polymer, wax, fat, or carbohydrate. The core may comprise a salt of a multivalent cation, a reducing agent, an antioxidant, a peroxide decomposing catalyst and/or an acidic buffer component, typically as a homogenous blend. The core may consist of an inert particle with the enzyme absorbed into it, or applied onto the surface, e.g., by fluid bed coating. The core may have a diameter of 20-2000 μm, particularly 50-1500 μm, 100-1500 μm or 250-1200 μm. The core can be prepared by granulating a blend of the ingredients, e.g., by a method comprising granulation techniques such as crystallization, precipitation, pan-coating, fluid bed coating, fluid bed agglomeration, rotary atomization, extrusion, prilling, spheronization, size reduction methods, drum granulation, and/or high shear granulation. Methods for preparing the core can be found in Handbook of Powder Technology; Particle size enlargement by C. E. Capes; Volume 1; 1980; Elsevier. The core of the enzyme granule/particle may be surrounded by at least one coating, e.g., to improve the storage stability, to reduce dust formation during handling, or for coloring the granule. The optional coating(s) may include a salt coating, or other suitable coating materials, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose (MHPC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Examples of enzyme granules with multiple coatings are shown in WO 93/07263 and WO 97/23606. 
     The coating may be applied in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight of the core, e.g., at least 0.5%, 1% or 5%. The amount may be at most 100%, 70%, 50%, 40% or 30%.

Any bleaching system comprising components known in the art for use in cleaning detergents may be utilized. Suitable bleaching system components include sources of hydrogen peroxide; sources of peracids; and bleach catalysts or boosters. 
     Sources of Hydrogen Peroxide: 
     Suitable sources of hydrogen peroxide are inorganic persalts, including alkali metal salts such as sodium percarbonate and sodium perborates (usually mono- or tetrahydrate), and hydrogen peroxide-urea (1/1). 
     Sources of Peracids: 
     Peracids may be (a) incorporated directly as preformed peracids or (b) formed in situ in the wash liquor from hydrogen peroxide and a bleach activator (perhydrolysis) or (c) formed in situ in the wash liquor from hydrogen peroxide and a perhydrolase and a suitable substrate for the latter, e.g., an ester.
 
a) Suitable preformed peracids include, but are not limited to, peroxycarboxylic acids such as peroxybenzoic acid and its ring-substituted derivatives, peroxy-α-naphthoic acid, peroxyphthalic acid, peroxylauric acid, peroxystearic acid, ε-phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid [phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid (PAP)], and o-carboxybenzamidoperoxycaproic acid; aliphatic and aromatic diperoxydicarboxylic acids such as diperoxydodecanedioic acid, diperoxyazelaic acid, diperoxysebacic acid, diperoxybrassylic acid, 2-decyldiperoxybutanedioic acid, and diperoxyphthalic, -isophthalic and -terephthalic acids; perimidic acids; peroxymonosulfuric acid; peroxydisulfuric acid; peroxyphosphoric acid; peroxysilicic acid; and mixtures of said compounds.

A particular family of bleach activators of interest was disclosed in EP624154 and particularly preferred in that family is acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC). ATC or a short chain triglyceride like triacetin has the advantage that they are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, acetyl triethyl citrate and triacetin have good hydrolytical stability in the product upon storage and are efficient bleach activators. Finally, ATC is multifunctional, as the citrate released in the perhydrolysis reaction may function as a builder.

     Hydrotropes 
     The composition may comprise e.g. one or more hydrotrope, which is a compound that solubilises hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions (or oppositely, polar substances in a non-polar environment). Typically, hydrotropes have both hydrophilic and a hydrophobic character (so-called amphiphilic properties as known from surfactants), however the molecular structure of hydrotropes generally do not favor spontaneous self-aggregation, see e.g. review by Hodgdon and Kaler (2007), Current Opinion in Colloid &amp; Interface Science 12: 121-128. Hydrotropes do not display a critical concentration above which self-aggregation occurs as found for surfactants and lipids forming miceller, lamellar or other well defined meso-phases. Instead, many hydrotropes show a continuous-type aggregation process where the sizes of aggregates grow as concentration increases. However, many hydrotropes alter the phase behavior, stability, and colloidal properties of systems containing substances of polar and non-polar character, including mixtures of water, oil, surfactants, and polymers. Hydrotropes are classically used across industries from pharma, personal care, food, to technical applications. Use of hydrotropes in detergent compositions allow for example more concentrated formulations of surfactants (as in the process of compacting liquid detergents by removing water) without inducing undesired phenomena such as phase separation or high viscosity. 
     The cleaning composition may contain 0-10% by weight, for example 0-5% by weight, such as about 0.5 to about 5%, or about 3% to about 5%, of a hydrotrope.

     Definitions 
     Biofilm may be produced by any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other or stick to a surface, such as a textile, dishware or hard surface or another kind of surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Biofilm EPS is a polymeric conglomeration generally composed of extracellular DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides. Biofilms may form on living or non-living surfaces. The microbial cells growing in a biofilm are physiologically distinct from planktonic cells of the same organism, which, by contrast, are single-cells that may float or swim in a liquid medium. Bacteria living in a biofilm usually have significantly different properties from planktonic bacteria of the same species, as the dense and protected environment of the film allows them to cooperate and interact in various ways. One benefit of this environment for the microorganisms is increased resistance to detergents and antibiotics, as the dense extracellular matrix and the outer layer of cells protect the interior of the community. On laundry biofilm producing bacteria can be found among the following species:  Acinetobacter  sp.,  Aeromicrobium  sp.,  Brevundimonas  sp.,  Microbacterium  sp.,  Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas  sp.,  Staphylococcus epidermidis , and  Stenotrophomonas  sp. On hard surfaces biofilm producing bacteria can be found among the following species:  Acinetobacter  sp.,  Aeromicrobium  sp.,  Brevundimonas  sp.,  Microbacterium  sp.,  Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas  sp.,  Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus  and  Stenotrophomonas  sp. In one aspect, the biofilm producing strain is  Brevundimonas  sp. In one aspect, the biofilm producing strain is  Pseudomonas  e.g.  Pseudomonas alcaliphila  or  Pseudomonas fluorescens . In one aspect, the biofilm producing strain is  Staphylococcus aureus.    
     By the term “deep cleaning” is meant disruption or removal of components of organic matter, e.g. biofilm, such as polysaccharides e.g. PNAG, proteins, DNA, soil or other components present in the organic matter. 
     Cleaning component or cleaning adjunct: The Cleaning component or cleaning adjunct is different from the  Staphylococcus  hexosaminidase. The precise nature of these cleaning (adjunct) components, and levels of incorporation thereof, will depend on the physical form of the composition and the nature of the operation for which it is to be used. Suitable cleaning components include, but are not limited to the components described below such as surfactants, builders, flocculating aid, chelating agents, dye transfer inhibitors, enzymes, enzyme stabilizers, enzyme inhibitors, catalytic materials, bleach activators, hydrogen peroxide, sources of hydrogen peroxide, preformed peracids, polymeric agents, clay soil removal/anti-redeposition agents, brighteners, suds suppressors, dyes, perfumes, structure elasticizing agents, fabric softeners, carriers, hydrotropes, builders and co-builders, fabric huing agents, anti-foaming agents, dispersants, processing aids, and/or pigments. 
     Cleaning Composition: The term “cleaning composition” refers to compositions that find use in the removal of undesired compounds from items to be cleaned, such as textiles. The detergent composition may be used to e.g. clean textiles for both household cleaning and industrial cleaning. The terms encompass any materials/compounds selected for the particular type of cleaning composition desired and the form of the product (e.g., liquid, gel, powder, granulate, paste, or spray compositions) and includes, but is not limited to, detergent compositions (e.g., liquid and/or solid laundry detergents and fine fabric detergents; fabric fresheners; fabric softeners; and textile and laundry pre-spotters/pretreatment). In addition to containing the enzyme of the invention, the detergent formulation may contain one or more additional enzymes (such as proteases, amylases, lipases, cutinases, cellulases, endoglucanases, xyloglucanases, pectinases, pectin lyases, xanthanases, peroxidases, haloperoxygenases, catalases and mannanases, or any mixture thereof), and/or detergent adjunct ingredients such as surfactants, builders, chelators or chelating agents, bleach system or bleach components, polymers, fabric conditioners, foam boosters, suds suppressors, dyes, perfume, tannish inhibitors, optical brighteners, bactericides, fungicides, soil suspending agents, anti-corrosion agents, enzyme inhibitors or stabilizers, enzyme activators, transferase(s), hydrolytic enzymes, oxido reductases, bluing agents and fluorescent dyes, antioxidants, and solubilizers. 
     The term “hard surface cleaning” is defined herein as cleaning of hard surfaces wherein hard surfaces may include floors, tables, walls, roofs etc. as well as surfaces of hard objects such as cars (car wash) and dishes (dish wash). Dish washing includes but are not limited to cleaning of plates, cups, glasses, bowls, cutlery such as spoons, knives, forks, serving utensils, ceramics, plastics, metals, china, glass and acrylics. 
     The term “wash performance” is used as an enzyme&#39;s ability to remove stains present on the object to be cleaned during e.g. wash or hard surface cleaning. 
     The term “whiteness” is defined herein as the quality or state of a textile of being white. Loss of whiteness may be due to removal of optical brighteners/hueing agents and result in a greying or yellowing of the textiles. Greying and yellowing can be due to soil redeposition, body soils, colouring from e.g. iron and copper ions or dye transfer. Whiteness might include one or several issues from the list below: colourant or dye effects; incomplete stain removal (e.g. body soils, sebum etc.); redeposition (greying, yellowing or other discolourations of the object) (removed soils reassociate with other parts of textile, soiled or unsoiled); chemical changes in textile during application; and clarification or brightening of colours. 
     The term “laundering” relates to both household laundering and industrial laundering and means the process of treating textiles with a solution containing a cleaning or detergent composition of the present invention. The laundering process can for example be carried out using e.g. a household or an industrial washing machine or can be carried out by hand. 
     By the term “malodor” is meant an odor which is not desired on clean items. The cleaned item should smell fresh and clean without malodors adhered to the item. One example of malodor is compounds with an unpleasant smell, which may be produced by microorganisms. Another example of unpleasant smell can be sweat or body odor adhered to an item which has been in contact with human or animal. Another example of malodor can be the odor from spices, which sticks to items for example curry or other exotic spices which smell strongly, tobacco, cooking smell (fried oil, fish etc.), scents of perfume such as deodorant and eau de cologne. 
     The term “mature polypeptide” means a polypeptide in its final form following translation and any post-translational modifications, such as N-terminus processing, C-terminus truncation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, etc. 
     The term “textile” means any textile material including yarns, yarn intermediates, fibers, non-woven materials, natural materials, synthetic materials, and any other textile material, fabrics made of these materials and products made from fabrics (e.g., garments and other articles). The textile or fabric may be in the form of knits, wovens, denims, non-wovens, felts, yarns, and towelling. The textile may be cellulose based such as natural cellulosics, including cotton, flax/linen, jute, ramie, sisal or coir or manmade cellulosics (e.g. originating from wood pulp) including viscose/rayon, cellulose acetate fibers (tricell), lyocell or blends thereof. The textile or fabric may also be non-cellulose based such as natural polyamides including wool, camel, cashmere, mohair, rabbit and silk or synthetic polymers such as nylon, aramid, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene and spandex/elastane, or blends thereof as well as blends of cellulose based and non-cellulose based fibers. Examples of blends are blends of cotton and/or rayon/viscose with one or more companion material such as wool, synthetic fiber (e.g. polyamide fiber, acrylic fiber, polyester fiber, polyvinyl chloride fiber, polyurethane fiber, polyurea fiber, aramid fiber), and/or cellulose-containing fiber (e.g. rayon/viscose, ramie, flax/linen, jute, cellulose acetate fiber, lyocell). Fabric may be conventional washable laundry, for example stained household laundry. When the term fabric or garment is used it is intended to include the broader term textiles as well. 
     The term “variant” means a polypeptide having the activity of the parent or precursor polypeptide and comprising an alteration, i.e., a substitution, insertion, and/or deletion, at one or more (e.g., several) positions compared to the precursor or parent polypeptide. A substitution means replacement of the amino acid occupying a position with a different amino acid; a deletion means removal of the amino acid occupying a position; and an insertion means adding an amino acid adjacent to and immediately following the amino acid occupying a position. 
     Sequence identity: The relatedness between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the parameter “sequence identity”. For purposes of the present invention, the sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453) as implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. 16: 276-277), preferably version 6.6.0 or later. The parameters used are a gap open penalty of 10, a gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. The output of Needle labeled “longest identity” (obtained using the -nobrief option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows: 
       (Identical Residues×100)/(Length of Alignment−Total Number of Gaps in Alignment).
 
     Clade: a group of polypeptides clustered together based on homologous features traced to a common ancestor. Polypeptide clades can be visualized as phylogenetic trees and a clade is a group of polypeptides that consists of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants 
     Nomenclature 
     For purposes of the present invention, the nomenclature [IV] or [IN] means that the amino acid at this position may be isoleucine (Ile, I) or valine (Val, V). Likewise, the nomenclature [LVI] and [L/V/I] means that the amino acid at this position may be a leucine (Leu, L), valine (Val, V) or isoleucine (Ile, I), and so forth for other combinations as described herein. Unless otherwise limited further, the amino acid X is defined such that it may be any of the 20 natural amino acids.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, or if it is apparent from the context that something else is intended, all percentages are percentage by weight (% w/w) or (wt %).

     Assays 
     Wash Assay 
     Mini Launder-O-Meter (MiniLOM) Model Wash System 
     MiniLOM is a mini wash system in which washes are performed in 50 ml test tubes placed in a Stuart rotator. Each tube simulates one small washing machine and during an experiment, each will contain a solution of a specific detergent/enzyme system to be tested along with the soiled and unsoiled fabrics it is tested on. Mechanical stress is achieved via rotation (typically 20 rpm), and the temperature is controlled by placement of the rotator in a heating cabinet/room. 
     Assay I: Testing of Hexosaminidase Activity 
     The hexosaminidase activity of the polypeptides listed in the table below was determined using 4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (Sigma-Aldrich) as substrate. The enzymatic reaction was performed in triplicates in a 96 well flat bottom polystyrene microtiter plate (Thermo Scientific) with the following conditions: 20 mM 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid pH 7 buffer, 5 mM 4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide, 0.01 vol % (% w/w) Brij 35 (Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, CAS 9002-92-0) detergent and 50 nM purified enzyme sample in a total reaction volume of 200 μl. Blank samples without polypeptide were run in parallel. The reactions were carried out at room temperature using a SpectraMax M2e Microplate Reader from Molecular Devices. Excitation wavelength was set to 368 nm and emission wavelength to 448 nm. Fluorescent signal was followed for 15 min in Kinetic Mode. Initial rate of reaction was evaluated as relative fluorescence units per minute RFU/min by calculating the maximum initial increase in fluorescent signal over time as 4-Methylumbelliferyl was released from 4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide substrate due to enzymatic reaction.

     Example 2: Cloning and Expression of Glycol_hydro_20 Hexosaminidases 
     The codon optimized synthetic genes encoding the mature peptide sequences of the hexosaminidase with SEQ ID 3 and 6 were inserted into a  Bacillus  expression vector as described in WO12/025577. Briefly, the DNA encoding the mature peptide of the glycol_hydro_20 hexosaminidase gene was cloned in frame to a  Bacillus clausii  secretion signal (BcSP; with the following amino acid sequence: MKKPLGKIVASTALLISVAFSSSIASA (SEQ ID NO: 7). BcSP replaced the native secretion signal in the gene. Downstream of the BcSP sequence, an affinity tag sequence was introduced to ease the purification process (His-tag; with the following amino acid sequence: HHHHHHPR (SEQ ID NO: 8) The gene that was expressed therefore comprised the BcSP sequence followed by the His-tag sequence followed by the mature wild type glycol_hydro_20 sequence. The final expression plasmid (BcSP-His-tag-glycol_hydro_20) was transformed into a  Bacillus subtilis  expression host. The glycol_hydro_20 BcSP-fusion gene was integrated by homologous recombination into the  Bacillus subtilis  host cell genome upon transformation. The gene construct was expressed under the control of a triple promoter system (as described in WO99/43835). The gene coding for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase was used as maker (as described in (Diderichsen et al., 1993, Plasmid 30: 312-315)). Transformants were selected on LB media agar supplemented with 6 micrograms of chloramphenicol per ml. One recombinant  Bacillus subtilis  clone containing the glycol_hydro_20 expression construct was selected and was cultivated on a rotary shaking table in 500 ml baffled Erlenmeyer flasks each containing 100 ml yeast extract-based media. After 3-5 days&#39; cultivation time at 30° C. to 37° C., the enzyme containing supernatant was harvested by centrifugation and the enzymes was purified by His-tag purification. 
     Example 3: His Tag Purification Method 
     The His-tagged glycol_hydro_20 hexosaminidase enzymes were purified by immobilized metal chromatography (IMAC) using Ni 2+  as the metal ion on 5 mL HisTrap Excel columns (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The purification took place at pH 7 and the bound protein was eluted with imidazole. The purity of the purified enzymes was checked by SDS-PAGE and the concentration of the enzyme determined by Absorbance 280 nm after a buffer exchange in 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl pH7.0.

     Example 4: Biofilm Growth and Detachment Assay 
       Staphylococcus aureus  15981 was kindly provided by Inigo Lasa (Valle et al., Mol Microbio1.2003 May; 48 (4):1075-87). The strain was grown on trypticase soy agar (TSA) at 37° C. overnight. Next day, a single colony was transferred to 15 ml tripticase soy broth (TSB) and incubated 5 hours at 37° C. under shaking. The culture was diluted 1:100 in TSB+1 (Y0 glucose and 100 μL of the bacterial suspension was transferred to each well of a 96-well microtiter plates (Thermo Scientific, Nunclon Delta Surface, cat #167008) and incubated 24 hours at 37° C. without shaking. and 100 μL of the bacterial suspension was transferred to each well of a 96-well microtiter plates (Thermo Scientific, Nunclon Delta Surface, cat #167008) and incubated 24 hours at 37° C. without shaking. Supernatant was aspirated and wells were washed with 100 μL of 0.9% sodium chloride and filled with 100 μL of either hard water or 3.3 gr/L non-ionic detergent or 3.3 gr/L model A detergent (composition hard water and non-ionic and model A) containing 0 (control) or 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.62, 0.31, 0.16, 0.08, 0.04, 0.02 and 0.01 μg/mL of enzyme (SEQ ID 3 and 6). After incubation at 37° C. for 1 hour, wells were washed with water and stained for 15 min with 100 μL of 0.095% crystal violet solution (SIGMA V5265). Wells were then rinsed twice with 100 μL water, dried and the plates were scanned. The lowest concentration of each enzyme that could remove the visible formation of biofilm of the  S. aureus  15981 organism after 1 hour incubation, in the presence and absence of detergent was determined (see Table 4). All enzymes were assayed per duplicate in three independent assays. The average of the minimal concentration of enzyme that removed the visible formation of  S. aureus  15981 from the three assays is listed in Table 4.

     Example 5. Cleaning Properties of Hexosaminidase in Liquid Model Detergent 
     A crude extract of biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was prepared from  Staphylococcus aureus  15981 (kind gift from Iñigo Lasa (Valle, J., A. Toledo-Arana, C. Berasain, J. M. Ghigo, B. Amorena, J. R. Penades, and I. Lasa. 2003, Mol. Microbiol. 48:1075-1087) as follows: 500 mL of TSB+1% glucose (24563; Roquette Freres) was inoculated, aliquoted into 50 ml conical centrifuge tubes (339652; Thermo Scientific Nunc) and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. under shaking conditions (200 rpm). Following incubation, the cells were pelleted by centrifugation (10 min, 6000 g, 25° C.), pooled and resuspended in 4 ml 3M NaCl. The suspension was vortexed vigorously and incubated for 15 min at ambient temperature to extract the surface-associated EPS. The cells were then re-pelleted (10 min, 5000 g, 25° C.) and the EPS-containing supernatant was retrieved. Milli-Q water was added (6 ml) and the solution was sterile-filtered twice (0.45 μm followed by 0.2 μm). The crude extract was stored at −20° C. until further use. For wash performance testing, 50 ul aliquots of the crude EPS extract was spotted on sterile textile swatches (WFK20A) and incubated for 15 min at ambient temperature. The swatches (sterile or with EPS) were placed in 50 mL test tubes and 10 mL of wash liquor (15° dH water with 0.2 g/L iron(III) oxide nano-powder (544884; Sigma-Aldrich) with 3.33 g/L liquid model A detergent or 3.33 g/L nonionic model detergent) and enzyme was added to each tube. Washes without enzyme were included as controls. The test tubes were placed in a Stuart rotator and incubated for 1 hour at 37° C. at 20 rpm. The wash liquor was then removed, and the swatches were rinsed twice with 15° dH water and left to dry on filter paper overnight. The remisssion (REM 460 nm ) values were measured using a Macbeth Color-Eye 7000 (CE7000), and are displayed in table 5. Delta values (REM 460 nm   (washed with enzyme) −REM 460 nm   (washed without enzyme) ) are also indicated.

     Example 6: Construction of Clades and Phylogenetic Trees 
     The Glyco_hydro_20 domain includes the polypeptides of the invention having hexosaminidase e.g. PNAG activity and comprises the ENYA, VLG and/or DIARK clades.
 
A phylogenetic tree was constructed, of polypeptide sequences containing a Glyco_hydro_20 domain, as defined in PFAM (PF00728, Pfam version 31.0 Finn (2016). Nucleic Acids Research, Database Issue 44:D279-D285). The phylogenetic tree was constructed from a multiple alignment of mature polypeptide sequences containing at least one Glyco_hydro_20 domain. The sequences were aligned using the MUSCLE algorithm version 3.8.31 (Edgar, 2004 . Nucleic Acids Research  32(5): 1792-1797), and the trees were constructed using FastTree version 2.1.8 (Price et al., 2010 , PloS one  5(3)) and visualized using iTOL (Letunic &amp; Bork, 2007 . Bioinformatics  23(1): 127-128). The polypeptide sequences containing a Glyco_hydro_20 domain comprises several motifs; one example is GXDE (SEQ ID NO 9), situated in positions 157 to 160 in  Staphylococcus cohnii  subsp.  cohnii  (SEQ ID NO 3). Residues D and E are the key catalytic residues of Glyco_hydro_20 enzymes (position 159 to 160 in SEQ ID NO 3).
 
     The polypeptides in Glyco_hydro_20 can be separated into multiple distinct sub-clusters, or clades as listed below. The distinct motifs for each clade are described in detail below. 
     Generation of ENYA Clade 
     A clade, preferably shared by the polypeptides of the invention, was identified. This clade has not been described previously. The clade is termed IES and polypeptides of this clade comprises Glyco_hydro_20 domain polypeptides of bacterial origin and are in addition to having PNAG activity, characterized by comprising certain motifs. The polypeptides of the clade comprise the motif example [EQ][NRSHA][YVFL][AGSTC][IVLF][EAQYN][SN] (SEQ ID NO 10), corresponding to ENYAIES at position 44 to 50 of SEQ ID NO 3. 
     Generation of VLG Clade 
     A clade, preferably shared by the polypeptides of the invention, was identified. This clade has not been described previously. The clade is termed VLG and polypeptides of this clade comprise Glyco_hydro_20 domain polypeptides of bacterial origin and are in addition to having PNAG activity, characterized by comprising certain motifs. The polypeptides of the clade comprise the motif example [VIMS][LIV]G[GAV]DE[VI][PSA] (SEQ ID NO 11), corresponding to VLGGDEVP (positions 155 to 162 of SEQ ID NO 3), where G and DE (corresponding to positions 157 and 159-160 of SEQ ID NO 3) are fully conserved in VLG clade and part of the active site. Residues D and E are the key catalytic residues of Glyco_hydro_20 enzymes (position 159 to 160 in SEQ ID NO 3). 
     Generation of DIARK Clade 
     The DIARK clade comprises VLG domain polypeptides of bacterial origin, having hexosaminidase e.g. PNAG activity. The polypeptides of the clade comprise the motif example D[IV]AR[TK] (SEQ ID NO 12), corresponding to pos 10 to 14 of SEQ ID NO 3, where D and AR are fully conserved in DIARK clade (positions 10 and 12-13 in SEQ ID NO 3). 
     An alignment of the polypeptides of the invention is shown in  FIG. 2 . A phylogenetic tree of the polypeptides of the invention is shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     Example 7 Characterization of Dispersins 
     Dispersin Activity as a Function of pH 
     Activity Assay: 
     The activity of the dispersin having SEQ ID NO 6 was measured with 4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (4-NAG, CAS Number 3459-18-5, CHE00244) as substrate as a function of pH (4-10 in 1-unit increments). The concentrations of substrate and the dispersin having SEQ ID NO 6 were 1 mM and 1.0 μM, respectively, in all measurements. The dilution buffers comprise: 50 mM MES (CAS Number: 4432-31-9), 50 mM glycine (CAS Number: 56-40-6), 50 mM acetic acid (CAS Number: 64-19-7) adjusted to pH 4-10. 
     The substrate solution (10 mM) was prepared by dissolving 34.23 mg 4-NAG in 10.0 mL water. Dissolution required rigorous vortex mixing and gentle heating. The enzyme concentration was determined by UV-Vis (ε 280 =54760 M −1  cm −1 ). 
     The enzyme samples were incubated at the different pH-values in volumes of 200 μL in a thermomixer (in MTP) for 10 min and 500 rpm at 30° C. After 10 min, the MTP was incubated at 95° C. and 500 rpm for 10 min in thermomixer to end the reaction. Then the samples were transferred to ice bath and cooled for 2 min. The samples were added 20 μL 4 M NaOH to deprotonate pNP (induce yellow color). Absorbance at 405 nm was measured for 2 min in 10 sec. intervals. All measurements were produced in triplicates and reference samples were produced for all conditions (buffer instead of enzyme). 
     Results: 
     The following table display the average absorbance (activity) subtracted the average absorbance of the reference samples measured after 10 min incubation at different pH values. In this case, the greatest activity is obtained at pH 6.

     Dispersin Stability as a Function of pH and NaCl 
     Stability Assay—Differential Scanning Fluorimetry: 
     The thermal stability of the dispersin having SEQ ID NO 6 was measured as a function of pH (4, 6, 7, 8, 10) and NaCl concentration (100, 200, and 300 mM). The thermal unfolding was monitored using intrinsic fluorescence utilizing a Prometheus NT.48. The concentrations the dispersin having SEQ ID NO 6 was 0.2 mg/mL in all measurements. The enzyme concentration was determined by UV-Vis (ε280=54760 M −1 cm −1 ). The dilution buffers comprise: 50 mM MES (CAS Number: 4432-31-9), 50 mM glycine (CAS Number: 56-40-6), 50 mM acetic acid (CAS Number: 64-19-7) adjusted to pH 4, 6, 7, 8, or 10. The enzyme samples were prepared by mixing a 5 M NaCl stock, buffer, water (MQ), and enzyme to obtain the desired concentrations. The total volume of each mixture was 100 μL. The samples were loaded in the instrument in duplicates and measured from 20 to 95° C. with temperature ramping of 2.0° C./min. 
     Results: 
     Melting temperatures (T m -values) were derived from the thermograms using the PR.ThermControl v.2.0.4 software.

     Dispersin Activity as a Function of Temperature 
     Activity Assay: 
     The activity of the dispersin having SEQ ID NO 6 was measured with 4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (4-NAG, CAS Number 3459-18-5, CHE00244) as substrate at pH 7. The concentrations of substrate and the dispersin having SEQ ID NO 6 were 1 mM and 0.5 μM, respectively, in all measurements. The dilution buffer comprises: 50 mM MES (CAS Number: 4432-31-9), 50 mM glycine (CAS Number: 56-40-6), 50 mM acetic acid (CAS Number: 64-19-7), pH 7. The substrate solution (10 mM) was prepared by dissolving 35.9 mg 4-NAG in 10.482 mL water. Dissolution required rigorous vortex mixing and gentle heating. The enzyme concentration was determined by UV-Vis (ε 280 =54760 M −1 cm −1 ). The reaction mixture comprised 15.9 μL enzyme (6.3 μM), 20 μL substrate, and 164.1 μL buffer. 
     The enzyme samples were incubated in volumes of 200 μL in a thermomixer for 10 min and 500 rpm at 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, or 70° C. After 10 min, the samples were transferred to ice bath and cooled for 2 min. The samples were added 10 μL 4 M NaOH to deprotonate pNP (induce yellow color). 180 μL reaction mixture was transferred to a MT plate and absorbance at 405 nm was measured for 1 min in 10 sec. intervals. All measurements were produced in duplicates and reference samples were produced for all conditions (buffer instead of enzyme). 
     Results: 
     The following table display the average absorbance (activity) subtracted the average absorbance of the reference samples measured after 10 min incubation at different temperatures:
