Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide having beta-glucosidase activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to amino acids 22 to 782 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under at least very high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 64 to 2707 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a cDNA sequence thereof, or (ii) the full-length complement of (i), wherein very high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5X SSPE, 0.3% SDS,200 μg/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide and washing three times each for 15 minutes using 2X SSC, 0.2% SDS at 70° C.; (c) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 99% sequence identity to nucleotides 64 to 2707 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a cDNA sequence thereof and (d) an isolated fragment of the polypeptide of (a), (b), (c), or (d) that has beta-glucosidase activity.
