Application No. 09/795,211
(e) "-amylase according to (a), (b), (c) or (d),
wherein the "-amylmse is obtainable from an alkalophilic Bacillus
species;
(f) "-amylase according to (e), wherein the amylase is
obtainable from any of the strains NCIB 12289, NCIB 12512, NCIB
12513 and DSM 935;
(g) "-amylase showing positive immunological
cross-reactivity with antibodies raised against an "-amylase
having an amino acid sequence corresponding respectively to
SEQ ID No. 1, ID No. 2 or ID No. 3;
(h) variant of a parent "-amylase, which parent
"-amylase (i) has one of the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID
No. 1, ID No. 2 or ID No. 4 respectively, or (ii) displays at
least 80% homology with one or more of said amino acid sequences,
displays immunological cross-reactivity with an antibody raised
against an "-amylase having one of said amino acid sequences, is
encoded by a DNA sequence which hybridizes with the same probe as
a DNA sequence encoding an "-amylase having one of said amino
acid sequences, or combinations thereof, in which variants:
(i) at least one amino acid residue of said parent
"-amylase has been deleted,
(ii) at least one amino acid residue of said parent
"-amylase has been replaced by a different amino acid
residue;
(iii) at least one amino acid residue has been inserted
relative to said parent "-amylase; or
(iv) combinations thereof; said variant having an
"-amylase activity and exhibiting at least one of the
following properties relative to said parent "-amylase:
increased thermostability, increased stability towards
