Abstract:
An isolated polypeptide having glucanotransferase activity, selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 80% identity with the amino acid sequence shown as amino acids 1 to 501 of SEQ ID NO:2; (b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under medium stringency conditions with (i) a complementary strand of the nucleic acid sequence shown as nucleotides 1 to 1503 of SEQ ID NO:1, (c) a polypeptide encoded by the glucanotransferase encoding part of the DNA sequence cloned into a plasmid present in Escherichia coli DSM 13049, or a polypeptide having at least 80% identity to the polypeptide encoded by the glucanotransferase encoding part of the DNA sequence cloned into a plasmid present in Escherichia coli DSM 13049.
