Patent ID: 7105296

Claim:
A method of obtaining a nucleic acid fragment encoding a polypeptide having Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase activity comprising: (a) probing a genomic library with an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:47; (b) identifying a DNA clone that hybridizes with the nucleic acid fragment of step (a) under the stringent conditions of hybridization at 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS, 65° C. with a wash with 2×SSC, 0.1% SDS followed by 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS; and (c) sequencing the genomic fragment that comprises the clone identified in step (b); wherein the sequenced genomic fragment encodes a polypeptide having Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase activity.
