Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is related to an improved method for production of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC), an important intermediate towards biotechnological production of vitamin D3 or derivatives/metabolites thereof. The invention features modified host strains expressing enzymes having improved C-5 sterol 5 desaturase activity and their use in a process for production of vitamin D3 or derivatives and/or metabolites thereof.
