DNA CODING XYLITOL DEHYDROGENASE, NUCLEIC ACID CONSTRUCTION, VECTORS, MICROORGANISMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING XYLITOL DESIGROGENASE AND ETHANOL

摘要

The present invention relates to DNA encoding novel xylitol dehydrogenase and a method for using the same. Specifically, the present invention comprises providing the nucleic acid sequence of a xylitol dehydrogenase gene from Candida shehatae and introducing this gene into a host organism, thereby producing a microorganism having the ability to utilize xylose.
