Patent ID: 7741092

Claim:
An isolated, a synthetic, or a recombinant nucleic acid comprising: (a) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:7, wherein the nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide having glucoamylase activity; (b) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:8, wherein the polypeptide has glucoamylase activity; (c) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fragment of the polypeptide of (a) or (b), wherein the fragment has at least 95% sequence identity to a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 or encodes a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:8, and wherein the fragment encodes a polypeptide having glucoamylase activity; (d) the nucleic acid of any of (a) to (c), wherein the nucleic acid encodes the polypeptide lacking a signal (leader) sequence; or (e) a nucleic acid sequence fully complementary to any of (a) to (d).
