Date Sep. 28, 1995Yeast is transformed so that it is capable of expressing the enzymes phosphogluconate dehydratase and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate 6-phosphate aldolase; whereby, in fermention, a sugar can be converted to pyruvate via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Recombinant DNA encodes the enzymes defined above, and includes one or more sequences which promote transcription and translation of the enzymes in yeast.
