Dna sequences encoding enzymes involved in production of isoprenoids

摘要

The present invention is directed to an isolated DNA sequence coding for an enzyme involved in the mevalonate pathway or the pathway from isopentenyl pyrophosphate to farnesyl pyrophosphate, vectors or plasmids comprising such DNA, hosts transformed by either such DNAs or vectors or plasmids and a process for the production of isoprenoids and carotenoids by using such transformed host cells.
