Patent ID: 7803590

Claim:
A detergent composition comprising an isolated glycoside hydrolase 61 (GH-61) polypeptide and a surfactant wherein the GH-61 polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide that has an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% identity to amino acids 1-216 of SEQ ID NO: 2, amino acids 1-304 of SEQ ID NO: 4 or amino acids 1-201 of SEQ ID NO: 6; (b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under high stringency conditions with any of the following polynucleotide probes: (i) the complementary strand of nucleotides 52-699 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 46-957 of SEQ ID NO: 3, or 58-660 of SEQ ID NO: 5, (ii) the complementary strand of nucleotides 46 to 857 of SEQ ID NO: 3, (iii) the complementary strand of nucleotides 52-300 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 46-501 of SEQ ID NO: 3, or 58-300 of SEQ ID NO: 5, and (iv) the complementary strand of nucleotides 301-699 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 502-957 of SEQ ID NO: 3, or 301-660 of SEQ ID NO: 5.
