Patent ID: 7335501

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding only a phytase, or its full length complementary sequence, wherein the polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polynucleotide having a sequence comprising nucleotide residues 1381-1490, 1551-1702, and 1765-3118 of SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a polynucleotide having a sequence comprising nucleotide residues 89-1711 of SEQ ID NO:2; (c) a polynucleotide having a sequence comprising nucleotide residues 1381-3118 of SEQ ID NO: 1; (d) a polynucleotide having a sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:1; (e) a polynucleotide having a sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:2; (f) a polynucleotide having a sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3; (g) a polynucleotide having a sequence at least 95% homologous to the sequence of the polynucleotide of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (h) a polynucleotide having a sequence complementary to the full length sequence of the polynucleotide of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g); and (i) a polynucleotide having a sequence comprising at least 100 contiguous nucleotides of the sequence of the polynucleotide of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h), wherein the at least 100 contiguous nucleotides encode an active fragment of the phytase.
