  • the molecule can be introduced, for example, by introduction of an encoding nucleic acid into the host genetic mate- rial such as by integration into a host chromosome or as non-chromosomal genetic material such as a plasmid. Therefore, the term as it is used in reference to expression of an encoding nucleic acid refers to introduction of the encoding nucleic acid in an expressible form into the microbial organism. When used in reference to a biosynthetic activity, the term refers to an activity that is introduced into the host reference organism.
  • the source can be, for example, a homologous or heterologous encoding nucleic acid that expresses the referenced activity following introduction into the host microbial organism. Therefore, the term “endogenous” refers to a referenced molecule or activity that is present in the host. Similarly, the term when used in reference to expression of an encoding nucleic acid refers to expression of an encoding nucleic acid contained within the microbial organism.

  • a coding region is isolated by first preparing a genomic DNA library or a cDNA library, and second, identifying the coding region in the genomic DNA library or cDNA library, such as by probing the library with a labeled nucleotide probe that is at least partially homologous with the coding region, determining whether expression of the coding region imparts a detectable phenotype to a library microorganism comprising the coding region, or amplifying the desired sequence by PCR.
  • Other techniques for isolating the coding region may also be used.
  • the desired coding region is incorporated into the recipient organism in such a manner that the encoded enzyme is produced by the organism in functional form. That is, the coding region is inserted into an appropriate vector and operably linked to an appropriate promoter on the vector.
  • An enzyme which catalyzes a reaction for converting a first compound to a second compound may be tuned to catalyze a reverse reaction to convert the second compound to the first compound. That is, the compound which is the reagent in a direct reaction, may be- come the product in the reverse reaction.
  • the enzyme may, under certain conditions, catalyze the reverse reaction of a reaction catalyzed by the same enzyme. For instance, this may be done by genetically modification of a micro-organism or modification of the culture medium in such a way that the reverse reaction is promoted.

A higher value of this score can be interpreted as a higher feasibility for the enzyme to be able to catalyze efficiently the target reaction; and 2) Closeness of se- quence to positive set: this score provides the maximum similarity between the predicted sequence and the sequences in the positive set. It is used in order to control the maximum allowed departure from the positive set that is screened in the sequence space.
