Abstract:
An isolated DNA sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) SEQ ID NO: 1 or a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1 encoding a polypeptide having phytase activity;(b) the DNA sequence cloned into plasmid pYES 2.0 contained in Escherichia coli DSM 11312 or a fragment of said DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide having phytase activity;(c) a phytase-encoding DNA sequence which is at least 70% identical to the DNA sequence defined in (a) or (b) using the computer program GAP, with a GAP creation penalty of 5.0 and GAP extension penalty of 0.3;(d) a phytase-encoding DNA sequence that is capable of hybridizing with the DNA sequences of (a) of (b) under conditions of high stringency; and(e) a DNA sequence which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
