摘要

62NOVEL ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE, GENE FOR THE ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE, VECTOR, TRANSFORMANT, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE ALCOHOL BY USING THEMAn object of the present invention is to provide a novel alcohol dehydrogenase, a gene for the alcohol dehydrogenase, a vector including the gene, a transformant transformed with10 the vector, and a method for producing an optically active alcohol by utilizing them. A feature of the present invention directs to a novel polypeptide isolated from Candida maltosa, a DNA coding for the polypeptide, and a transformant producing the polypeptide. Another feature of the present invention15 directs to a method for producing an optically-active alcohol by reducing a carbonyl compound with the polypeptide or the transformant.No suitable figure.
