Patent ID: 7189547

Claim:
An isolated polypeptide having PhzO activity encoded by a nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleotide sequence as given in SEQ ID NO:1 from nucleotide 76 to nucleotide 1564 or from nucleotide 89 to nucleotide 1564; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; (c) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 95% nucleotide sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:1 from nucleotide 89 through nucleotide 1564; (d) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:2; (e) a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under high stringency conditions with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 from nucleotide 89 through nucleotide 1564.
