CA 2215996

The present invention relates to an exopolysaccharide degrading enzyme, to enzymatic compositions capable of degrading exopolysaccharides and in particular to the reduction or removal of biofilm on surfaces and to the prevention of biofilm formation on such surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of the enzyme and/or the enzymatic composition, comprising at least one exopolysaccharide degrading enzyme, for the reduction, removal and/or prevention of biofilm on surfaces of aqueous systems (water-bearing systems, fluid systems). The present invention further relates to a bacterial strain producing an exopolysaccharide degrading enzyme, and to the exopolysaccharide degrading enzyme prepared from a newly isolated strain of Streptomyces. Specifically, the exopolysaccharide degrading enzyme of the present invention is a colanic acid degrading enzyme.

La présente invention concerne une enzyme dégradant les polysaccharides, des compositions enzymatiques capables de dégrader des exopolysaccharides et en particulier diminuer ou éliminer les films biologiques de surfaces ou empêcher une telle formation. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne l'utilisation de l'enzyme et/ou d'une composition enzymatique comprenant au moins une enzyme capable de dégrader les exopolysaccharides, pour diminuer, éliminer et/ou empêcher la formation d'un film biologique sur la surface d'un système exposé à un milieu aqueux (systèmes exposés à l'eau ou à d'autres fluides). La présente invention concerne en outre une souche bactérienne produisant une enzyme dégradant les exopolysaccharides et des enzymes dégradant des exopolysaccharides préparées à partir d'une souche nouvellement isolée de Streptomyces. Plus particulièrement, l'enzyme dégradant l'exopolysaccharide de la présente invention est une enzyme dégradant l'acide colanique.
