Patent ID: 7557265

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:2; (b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; (c) a nucleic acid sequence hybridizing to SEQ ID NO:1 under wash conditions of 0.15 M NaCl and 70° C. for 10 minutes, wherein the sequence encodes phytase; (d) a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least 90% sequence identity over the full length of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 wherein the sequence encodes phytase; and (e) a nucleic acid sequence fully complementary to the nucleic acid sequence of (a), (b), (c) or (d).
