Abstract
The present disclosure provides a novel aldehyde synthase gene having activity of synthesizing a medium-chain aldehyde. Such gene encodes a protein comprising the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.
Claims20
An expression vector encoding an aldehyde synthase comprising an aldehyde synthase gene and a regulatory region that regulates expression of such gene, wherein the aldehyde synthase gene comprises a nucleic acid sequence that has 85% or higher sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and further conserves encoding valine 36 and valine 322 and wherein the aldehyde synthase has activity for synthesizing an aldehyde from an alcohol.
