STRUCTURAL GENE FOR MEMBRANEBOUND ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE, PLASMID CONTAINING THE SAME, ACETIC ACID BACTERIA TRANSFORMED WITH SAID PLASMID, AND ACETIC ACID FERMENTATION USING SAID TRANSFORMANT

摘要

This invention relates to the structural gene for the membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase derived from microorganisms belonging to the genus Acetobacter, said structural gene having a molecular size of about 3.6 Kb and having a restriction enzyme cleavage map as shown in Fig. 1; to a plasmid containing said structural gene; to an acetic acid bacterium transformed by said plasmid; and to an acetic acid fermentation process using said transformant.
