Patent ID: 7893232

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising (A 1 ), (B 1 ), (C 1 ), (D 1 ), (E 1 ), (F 1 ) or (G 1 ) shown below: (A 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which consists of all of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 10 or a part thereof covering at least nucleotides 25-801; (B 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which is hybridizable under stringent conditions with a polynucleotide consisting of a nucleotide sequence complementary to the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide shown in (A 1 ) and which encodes a protein having lipase activity; (C 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which consists of a nucleotide sequence comprising substitution, deletion, insertion and/or addition of 1 to 9 nucleotides in the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide shown in (A 1 ) and which encodes a protein having lipase activity; (D 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which shares an identity of at least 80% or more with the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide shown in (A 1 ) and which encodes a protein having lipase activity; (E 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which encodes a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 11; (F 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which encodes a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence comprising substitution, deletion, insertion and/or addition of 1 to 9 amino acids in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 11 and having lipase activity; or (G 1 ) an isolated polynucleotide which encodes a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence sharing an identity of at least 80% or more with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 11 and having lipase activity, wherein the stringent condition consists of hybridization at 65° C. in a solution containing 6 M urea, 0.4% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and 0.1×saline sodium citrate (SSC).
