Abstract
A novel gene has been isolated which encodes cytochrome b5 (CYTb5) protein of the &ohgr;-hydroxylase complex of 20336. Vectors including this gene, and transformed host cells are provided. Methods of increasing the production of a CYTb5 protein are also provided which involve transforming a host cell with a gene encoding this protein and culturing the cells. Methods of increasing the production of a dicarboxylic acid are also provided which involve increasing in the host cell the number of genes encoding this protein.
