Abstract
In DNA fragments and plasmids comprising the bioB, bioF, bioC, bioD and bioA genes responsible for biosynthesis of biotin, or their functionally equivalent genetic variants and mutants from enteric bacteria, the genes are arranged in a transcription unit. These DNA fragments and plasmids can be contained in microorganisms which can be used to produce biotin.
