NUCLEIC ACID CODING FOR AN ALPHA-ACETOLACTATE DECARBOXYLASE AND APPLICATIONS

摘要

Cloning and sequencing of nucleic acid coding for an (L. Lactis subsp. lactis) alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase, and polypeptide sequence coded by said gene. The invention also concerns the use of the above-mentioned nucleic acid for the transformation of host cells and micro-organisms so transformed in which the degradation of alpha-acetolactate into acetoine is promoted.
