1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding an α(1,6)-linked glucose oligosaccharide hydrolyzing polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:
(a) an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2;
(b) a nucleic acid molecule that hybridizes with (a) under the following stringent hybridization conditions: 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS, 65° C. and washed with 2×SSC, 0.1% SDS followed by 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS; and
(c) a nucleic acid molecule that is fully complementary to (a) or (b).
