Abstract
The nucleic acid coding for an .alpha.-acetolactate synthase from Lactococcus is provided, as well as vectors containing this nucleic acid and the use of these vectors for transforming microorganisms in which the production of .alpha.-acetolactate will be promoted, The nucleic acid comprises one or the other or both of a first segment corresponding to the ilvB gene (which encodes one subunit of .alpha.-acetolactate synthase of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis) and a second segment corresponding to the ilvN gene (which encodes a second subunit of .alpha.-acetolactate synthase of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis).
