ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a phospholipase C enzyme(s) having ability to hydrolyze phospholipid in both acidic and around neutral ranges and the activity in a citrate buffer solution as well as having some degree of heat stability, and having a property not to hydrolyze phosphate esters not containing lipid moieties. The phospholipase C enzyme(s) shows the activity at from acidic to neutral pH and does not substantially hydrolyze any phosphate esters except for phospholipids.
