Sorbitol dehydrogenase Gluconobacter suboxydans, genes, and methods for use of the same

摘要

"Sorbitol dehydrogenase Gluconobacter suboxydans, genes, and methods for use of the same. The invention relates to the fields of molecular biology, bacteriology and industrial fermentation.More specifically, the invention provides nucleic acid molecules encoding the three subunits isolated a sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) connected Gluconobacter oxydans membrane.The new invention and host cells containing such vectors and nucleic acid molecules isolated.The invention further provides isolated polypeptides for the three subunits of the SDH enzyme of the invention, and processes for the production of L - sorbose and acid, 2 - keto - L - gulu00f3nico.
