Patent ID: 7759102

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising (a) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the complement thereof; (b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the coding sequence from nucleotides 69 to 1224 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the complement thereof; (c) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity comprising the amino acid sequence from amino acids 23 to 408 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (d) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence from amino acids 23 to 408 of SEQ ID NO: 2; or (e) a nucleic acid sequence comprising a sequence having at least 95% identity to the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide having xylanase activity.
