摘要 |
The invention is directed to an isolated DNA molecule which includes a gene encoding an enzyme protein which has an NADH dependent L-xylulose reductase activity. The DNA sequence encoding the enzyme protein was identified. The invention is further directed to a microorganism transformed with said DNA molecule of the invention, as well as to the NADH dependent L-xylulose reductase. The invention can be utilised for the conversion of biomaterial, e.g. industrial waste material, containing carbohydrates to useful end products |
