Abstract

The subject invention pertains to polynucleotides encoding the enzyme oxalate decarboxylase from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger and methods of use. The subject invention also pertains to methods of using the enzyme oxalate decarboxylase from Bacillus subtilis.

Claims (10)

1. An isolated polynucleotide encoding an oxalate decarboxylase enzyme of Aspergillus , wherein said polynucleotide encodes an oxalate decarboxylase enzyme comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEO ID NO. 4, or an enzymatically active fragment thereof.

2. An isolated polynucleotide encoding an oxalate decarboxylase enzyme of Aspergillus , wherein said polynucleotide encodes an oxalate decarboxylase enzyme comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 3, or an enzymatically active fragment thereof.

3. The isolated polynucleotide according to claim 2 , wherein said polynucleotide comprises the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, or a fragment thereof encoding an enzymatically active oxalate decarboxylase.

4. The isolated polynucleotide according to claim 2 , wherein said polynucleotide comprises the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, or a fragment thereof encoding an enzymatically active oxalate decarboxylase.

5. An isolated cell, or progeny thereof, transformed with a polynucleotide of claim 1 .

6. The isolated cell according to claim 5 , wherein said cell is a bacterial cell, animal cell, or plant cell.

7. The isolated cell according to claim 5 , wherein said cell is lyophilized or frozen.

8. An isolated cell, or progeny thereof, transformed with a polynucleotide of claim 2 .

9. The isolated cell according to claim 8 , wherein said cell is a bacterial cell, animal cell, or plant cell.

10. The isolated cell according to claim 8 , wherein said cell is lyophilized or frozen.
