Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel fucose isomerase and a fucose production method using same. More specifically, in a reversible reaction between L-fucose and L-fuculose, an L-fucose isomerase, derived from a Raoultella sp. KDH 14 strain isolated from abalone intestines, favors the reaction progressing from L-fuculose to L-fucose, and thus the present invention provides the effect of applying same to the production of L-fucose.
Claims14
An L-fucose isomerase which comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and favors a conversion reaction from L-fuculose to L-fucose in a reversible reaction between L-fucose and L-fuculose.
The L-fucose isomerase of claim wherein the L-fucose isomerase is derived from a Raoultella sp. KDH 14 strain.
