Patent ID: 8629323

Claim:
A method for producing a dicamba-degrading oxygenase that comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, or that comprises an amino acid sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO:3 by one substitution, an amino acid sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO:3 by one addition, or an amino acid sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO:3 by one substitution and by one addition, said method comprising culturing a host cell transformed with a replication or expression vector comprising DNA sequence encoding a dicamba-degrading oxygenase that comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, or that comprises an amino acid sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO:3 by one substitution, an amino acid sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO:3 by one addition, or an amino acid sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO:3 by one substitution and by one addition, under conditions effective to express said polypeptide, and recovering the polypeptide so expressed.
