Abstract

The present invention is directed to a nucleotide sequence encoding D-amino oxidase (D-AAO, EC 1.4.3.3) from Arthrobacter protophormiae. This may be inserted into an expression and used to transform a microbial host. The transformed microbial hosts ecomically produce D-AAO which may be used to oxidize D-amino acids.
