Patent number: 7842483Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel cytochrome c oxidase complex, genetic materials useful for the preparation of the said complex, such as recombinant polypeptides involved in cytochrome c oxidase complex, recombinant DNA fragments, expression vectors, recombinant organisms and the like. Those novel cytochrome c oxidase complex and genetic materials may be originated from a microorganism having the identifying characteristics of Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 4025. The present invention also provides a method for the preparation of the said novel recombinant cytochrome c oxidase complex and a process for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KGA).Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2005Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: DSM Nutritional Products, Inc.Inventors: Akira Asakura, Tatsuo Hoshino, Masako Shinjoh
