Thermotoga neapolitana xylose isomerase polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding same

摘要

The present invention provides novel isolated polynucleotides encoding a novel xylose isomerases capable of catalyzing the conversion of glucose to fructose and nucleic acids encoding for such isomerase. The present invention also provides a method of producing the xylose isomerase enzymes employing DNA encoding for the enzymes, plasmids containing the DNA, and bacteria into which the plasmids have been inserted and which produce the enzymes.
