ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a recombinant plasmid adapted for transformation of a host microorganism, the plasmid comprising a plasmid vector into which a polydeoxyribonucleotide segment that codes for ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase has been inserted, wherein the resulting transformant exhibits at least 50% of the overall level of ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase activity of the donor. Also provided are an isolated polydeoxyribonucleotide segment that encodes ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase, and a transformant containing the ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase gene segments.
