Abstract From the Canadian patent

Phytases derived from ruminal microorganisms are provided. The phytases are capable of catalyzing the release of inorganic phosphorus from phytic acid. Preferred sources of phytases include Selenomonas Prevotella, Treponema and , Megasphaera. A purified and isolated DNA encoding a phytase of Selenomonas ruminantium JY35 (ATCC 55785) is provided. Recombinant expression vectors containing DNAs encoding the phytases and host cells transformed with DNAs encoding the phytases are also provided. The phytases are useful in a wide range of applications involving the dephosphorylation of phytate including, among other things, use in animal feed supplements.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed June 13, 1997 and granted April 15, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 13, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 13, 2019.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
