Abstract
This invention relates to a novel formaldehyde dehydrogenase expressed by a formaldehyde dehydrogenase gene and having independent reduction activity for formic acid, a method of preparing the formaldehyde dehydrogenase from a strain transformed with a recombinant expression vector including the gene, and a method of producing formaldehyde from formic acid through a reduction reaction of the formaldehyde dehydrogenase.
Claims1
A method of producing formaldehyde from a substrate through a reduction reaction with formaldehyde dehydrogenase having reduction activity and comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 by treating the substrate with the formaldehyde dehydrogenase using NADH as a coenzyme, wherein the substrate is formic acid.
