Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% sequence identity to amino acids 18 to 240 of SEQ ID NO: 4; (b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes under at least high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 98 to 821 of SEQ ID NO: 3, (ii) the cDNA sequence contained in nucleotides 98 to 821 of SEQ ID NO: 3, or (iii) a full-length complementary strand of (i) or (ii), wherein high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 mg/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide and washing three times each for 15 minutes using 2×SSC, 0.2% SDS at 65° C.; and (c) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence which has at least 95% sequence identity to nucleotides 98 to 821 of SEQ ID NO: 3.
