Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid encoding endo-1,3;1,4-&bgr;-glucanase comprising a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polynucleotide that encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the % sequence identity is based upon the entire sequence and is determined by BLAST 2.0 under default parameters; (c) a polynucleotide comprising the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; and (d) a polynucleotide complementary to a polynucleotide of (a) through (c) wherein said nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide that hydrolyzes beta-glucans.
