  • Method and nucleotide sequence for transforming microorganisms
    Publication number: 20020081684
    Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid molecule is provided which contains a sequence which encodes a protein which mediates the uptake of L-malate, succinate, and malonate, and expression vectors and host cells containing the nucleic acid molecules. The nucleic acid molecules are used to transform cells for use in mediating malate, succinic acid or malonate uptake in particular malate uptake during the fermentation of wines.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 28, 2001
    Publication date: June 27, 2002
    Inventors: Jandre Grobler, Aldis Krizus, Chauanpit Osothsilp-De-Eknamakul, Isak S. Pretorius, Hendrick J. Jansen Van Vuuren, Ronald E. Subden
