Abstract

Independent Claims | See all claims (27)

1. 1. A method for making a composition, comprising (i) (a) providing a carrier; (b) providing a polypeptide having a xylanase activity, and (c) combining the carrier of (a) with the polypeptide (b); wherein the polypeptide having a xylanase activity has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:160, or an enzymatically active fragment thereof; or (ii) the method of (i), wherein the sequence comparison algorithm is a BLAST version 2.2.2 algorithm where a filtering setting is set to blastall -p blastp -d “nr pataa” -F F, and all other options are set to default.
2. 2. A method for making a composition, comprising (a) providing a carrier appropriate for temperatures of at least 80° C.; (b) providing a polypeptide having a xylanase activity that is active under high temperature of at least 80° C. and having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:160; and (c) combining the carrier of (a) with the polypeptide of (b), thereby producing the composition.
3. 6. A method for making a composition comprising (a) providing a carrier; (b) providing a polypeptide having a xylanase activity, and (c) combining the carrier of (a) with the polypeptide of (b); wherein the polypeptide is encoded by a nucleic acid having a sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a nucleic acid comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:159, wherein the stringent conditions comprise a wash step comprising a wash in 0.2×SSC at a temperature of about 65° C. for about 15 minutes.
