Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide exhibiting phytase activity, wherein the polypeptide (a) has an amino acid sequence which is at least 90% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 30; (b) is encoded by a DNA sequence, which hybridizes with SEQ ID NO: 29 under stringency conditions defined as prehybridization in a solution of 5 ×SSC, 5 × Denhardt's solution, 0.5% SDS and 100 micro-g/ml of denatured sonicated salmon sperm DNA, followed by hybridization in the same solution for 12 hours at approximately 45° C., followed by washing twice for 30 minutes in 2×SSC, 0.5% SDS at a temperature of 65° C., 70° C., or 75° C.; (c) is encoded by a polynucleotide which has at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO 29; and/or (d) is a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 30.
