Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide having glucanase activity, selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 70% nucleotide sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:1 from nucleotide 37 through nucleotide 942, SEQ ID NO:3 from nucleotide 1801 through nucleotide 2761 or SEQ ID NO:16 from nucleotide 18 to nucleotide 923; (b) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having glucanase activity, said polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 80% identity with amino acids 1 to 301 of SEQ ID NO:2, 4, 5 or 17; and (c) a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under medium stringency or high stringency conditions with (i) SEQ ID NO:1 from nucleotide 37 through nucleotide 942, SEQ ID NO:3 from nucleotide 1801 through nucleotide 2761 or SEQ ID NO:16 from nucleotide 18 to nucleotide 923; or (ii) a complementary strand of (i).
