A 6 kbp SphI fragment encoding genes for the enzymes alpha-acetolactate synthase (ALS), alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase (ALDC) and meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (meso-BDH), involved in the formation of meso-2,3-butanediol (meso-BD) from pyruvic acid, was cloned into plasmid pUC118. When derivatives of this plasmid were introduced into Escherichia coli JM109, the transformants were able to produce D-acetoin (D-AC) without contamination with L-acetoin (L-AC).
一个6千碱基对的SphI片段,编码参与从丙酮酸形成内消旋-2,3-丁二醇(meso-BD)的α-乙酰乳酸合酶(ALS)、α-乙酰乳酸脱羧酶(ALDC)和内消旋-2,3-丁二醇脱氢酶(meso-BDH)的基因,被克隆到质粒pUC118中。当将该质粒的衍生物导入大肠杆菌JM109时,转化体能够产生D-乙偶姻(D-AC)而不被L-乙偶姻(L-AC)污染。
