Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a DNA sequence comprising a structural gene encoding xylose reductase and/or xylitol dehydrogenase and being capable of expressing these polypeptides in a microorganism. The invention further relates to a combination of DNA sequences, a vector, a microorganism, a method for producing xylose reductase and/or xylitol dehydrogenase and the protein xylulose reductase and/or xylitol dehydrogenase. Microorganisms, expressing the structural genes comprised by the inventive DNA sequences may be used for producing ethanol from xylulose, for producing biomass and recovering NADP from NADPH. Preferred microorganisms are S. cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
