Polypeptides having arabinofuranosidase activity and polynucleotides encoding same

An isolated polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase activity, selected from the group consisting of:

• (a) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:
• 2;
• (b) a polynucleotide that hybridizes under at least high stringency conditions with the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 1 or the cDNA sequence thereof, or the full-length complementary strand thereof, wherein high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 micrograms/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide, and washing three times each for 15 minutes using 2×SSC, 0.2% SDS at 65° C.;
• and
• (c) a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the mature polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 1 or the cDNA sequence thereof.
