DNA-MOLECULES CODING FOR FMDH (FORMATE DEHYDROGENASE) CONTROL REGIONS AND STRUCTURED GENE FOR A PROTEIN HAVING FMDH-ACTIVITY AND THEIR USES

摘要

The invention relates to DNA-molecules comprising DNA-sequences encoding control regions and the structural gene for a protein having formate dehydrogenase (FMDH) activity. The DNA-molecules may be combined with DNAsequences encoding foreign genes so as to bring these genes under the stringent control of the regulation of the FMDH regulatory sequences and/or may be combined to DNA-sequences coding for secretory signals. The invention further relates to recombinant vectors containing these DNA-molecules and micro-organisms containing the vectors or DNA-molecules. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for producing a useful substance by producing this substance by culturing the micro-organisms and recovering the substance.
