Abstract

Yeast strains and a method of expression in yeast of the monooxygenase activity of heterologous cytochromes P450 are disclosed. Within the genome of the yeast strain, genes for NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and cytochrome b5 are stably integrated and coexpressed. The genome is transformed with a plasmid carrying a cassette for the expression of a heterologous P450 gene.
