METHODS FOR TREATING COTTON-CONTAINING FABRICS WITH CELLULASE

Treatment of cotton-contg. fabrics was a fungal cellulose compsn. (I) comprising one or more EG (endoglucanase) type components and one or more CBH (exo-cellobiohydrolase) type component. The cellulose compsn. has a protein wt. ratio of all EG type components to all CBH I type components of greater...

More Information
Summary:Treatment of cotton-contg. fabrics was a fungal cellulose compsn. (I) comprising one or more EG (endoglucanase) type components and one or more CBH (exo-cellobiohydrolase) type component. The cellulose compsn. has a protein wt. ratio of all EG type components to all CBH I type components of greater than 5:1. A method conducted with agitation of an aq. cellulase (I) soln. under conditions so as to produce a cascading effect of the cellulose soln. over the fabric is also claimed. Compsn. has a protein wt. ratio of all EG type components to all CBH I type components of greater than 5:1. Pref. concentrate comprises (a) 0.1-20 wt. % of a fungal cellulose compsn. comprising one or more EG type components and one or more CBH I type components, where the cellulose compsn. has a protein wt. ratio of all EG type components to all CBH I type components of greater than 5:1, (b) 10-50 wt. % buffer, (c) 10-50 wt. % surfactant and (d) 0-80 wt. % water.
