Recombinant DNA expression vectors and DNA compounds that encode acyltransferase activity of aspergillus.

摘要

The present invention provides DNA compounds that encode isopenicillin N:acylCoA acyltransferase activity of Aspergillus nidulans. The compounds can be used to construct recombinant DNA expression vectors for a wide variety of host cells, including E. coli, Penicillium, and Aspergillus. The invention also provides methods for producing cephalosporins in penicillin N-producing fungi.
