Claims19
A recombinant microorganism comprising a recombinant aromatic kinase gene, wherein the recombinant aromatic kinase gene encodes an aromatic kinase protein, wherein the aromatic kinase protein is a homolog of Saro_1862 of Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM12444 comprising amino acid sequence comprising a lysine at a position corresponding to position 16 of SEQ ID NO:4.
A recombinant aromatic kinase protein comprising an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:4, wherein the amino acid sequence comprises a lysine at a position corresponding to position 16 of SEQ ID NO:4.
