GENE ENCODING ASYMMETRICALLY ACTIVE ESTERASE

摘要

An isolated gene encoding an esterase capable of asymmetrically hydrolysing an ester of chrysanthemumic acid or its derivative to give an intermediate useful for the production of pharmaceutically and/or agriculturally useful compounds, expression plasmids containing said gene, microorganisms transformed with said expression plasmids, and the production of the esterase by culturing said transformants.
