Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide having cellulase activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 under the hybridization conditions of 2×SSC, 5×Denhardt's solution, 0.5% (w/v) SDS, 100 micrograms/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA for 20 hours at 65° C. followed by washes in 5×SSC at 25° C. (2×15 minutes), 2×SSC, 0.5% SDS at 65° C. (30 minutes), 0.2×SSC, 0.5% SDS at 65° C. (30 minutes) and finally in 5×SSC (2×15 minutes) at 25° C.; (b) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which is at least 90% identical with SEQ ID NO: 12, wherein the degree of identity is determined by means of GAP provided in the GCG program package using settings of a GAP creation penalty of 3.0 and GAP extension penalty of 0.1; and (c) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 12 that has cellulase activity.
