          glycol, l,2-propanediol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol,

          [sic, acid] sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 or an "-amylase being            
          at least 80% homologous with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ           
          ID No. 1;                                                                   
                    (c) "-amylase according to (a), comprising the amino              
          [sic, acid] sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 2 or an "-amylase being            
          at least 80% homologous with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ           
          ID No. 2;                                                                   
                    (d) "-amylase according to (a), comprising the
