These variants can be combined with other mutations and point mutations, especially with exchanges in positions 3, 4, and/or 211. Exchanges L211D, L211N, L211Q and L211E have been found to be especially advantageous among the exchanges in position 211. The invention also relates to washing and cleaning agents comprising said protease variants, to corresponding washing and cleaning methods and to their use in washing and cleaning agents. The invention also relates to further technical applications.

[Susanne Wieland, Karl-Heinz Maurer, Beatrix Kottwitz, Frank Niehaus, Patrick Lorenz] DE Dormagen-Zons The present application relates to two novel proteases (SEQ ID NO: 4 and 7) which are similar to one another, whose DNA was obtained from soil samples, and C-terminally deleted, likewise proteolytically active fragments thereof (SEQ ID NO: 5 and 8), all alkaline proteases similar at least to 90% to SEQ ID NO: 4 or to 87.5% to SEQ ID NO: 7, and those which can be summarized under a consensus sequence (SEQ ID NO: 9) derived from SEQ ID NO: 4 and 7. Furthermore, it relates to all nucleic acids which have a homology of at least 85% identity to the associated nucleic acids (SEQ ID NO: 3 and 6) or the fragments concerned. Furthermore, it defines technical possibilities of use for these proteases and especially describes their use in detergents and cleaners.

[STEHR, Regina, BESSLER, Cornelius, MAURER, Karl-Heinz, WIELAND, Susanne, HOVEN, Nina, PRÜSER, Inken] Henkelstr. 67 40589 Düsseldorf;Reinfährstrasse 178b 41468 Neuss;Benrodestr. 73 40597 Düsseldorf;Dechenstr. 5 40699 Erkrath;Schlossstrasse 25 41541 Dormagen-Zons;Weiherstr. 14 41061 Mönchengladbach;Benzenbergstrasse 21 40219 Düsseldorf A new enzymatic bleaching system is disclosed comprising at least one oxidase and at least one perhydrolase. Also disclosed are body care products, hair washing products, hair care products, mouth, tooth, and dental prosthesis care products, tooth brace care products, cosmetics, therapeutic agents, textile washing products, detergents, rinsing products, textile machine-washing products, textile hand-washing products, hand dish-washing products, machine dish-washing products, disinfectants and means for bleaching or disinfecting filter media, textiles, pelts, paper, fur or leather, containing the new enzymatic bleaching system, as well as corresponding uses of the new enzymatic bleaching system and these products.

[RÜBEL, Susanne, STÜMKE, Manfred] Schwenninger Strasse 13 75179 Pforzheim;Remchinger Strasse 65 76307 Auerbach;Am Waldweg 21 75173 Pforzheim The invention relates to a bath for the galvanic deposition of gold and gold alloys, and to the use thereof for producing dental shaped elements, wherein the gold is present in the form of a gold sulfite complex. The inventive bath and the inventive use are characterized in that at least one bismuth compound is present in addition to the optional other metals and conventional additives for gold sulfites of the above-described kind. The bismuth compound is preferably a complex compound, especially one that contains the complexing agents NTA, HEDTA, TEPA, DTPA, EDNTA or EDTA. The invention has several advantages, the most important being that the bismuth can be added to the bath already when it is prepared. The invention provides for a bath that is functional for a long period and that does not necessarily require the addition of other additives before galvanization.
