RECOMBINANT DNA EXPRESSION AND DNA COMPOUNDS THAT ENCODE ISOPENICILLIN N EPIMERASE ACTIVITY

摘要

X-7860 The present invention provides DNA compounds that encode isopenicillin N epimerase activity. The compounds can be used to construct recombinant DNA expression vectors for a wide variety of host cells, including E. coli, Penicillium, Streptomyces, Aspergillus, and Cephalosporium. The invention also comprises methods for expressing isopenicillin N epimerase activity in host cells.
