Patent ID: 7220565

Claim:
An isolated polypeptide having cellobiohydrolase activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% sequence identity with the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes under at least high stringency conditions with (i) the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, (ii) the genomic DNA sequence comprising the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or (iii) a full-length complementary strand of (i) or (ii) wherein said conditions are hybridization at 42° C. in 5. times. SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 ug/ml sheared denatured salmon sperm DNA, in 50% formamide for 12 to 24 hours; and (c) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence which has at least 95% sequence identity with the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
