Claims
- 1. A cosmid contained in ATCC 69789 comprising a DNA fragment of about 35 kb isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae wherein 1) the DNA fragment encodes an active glycerol dehydratase enzyme and 2) digestion of the cosmid results in a restriction digest pattern as shown in FIG. 1, columns 1 and 2.
- 2. A host bacterium transformed with the cosmid of claim 1.
- 3. The host bacterium of claim 2 which is deposited with the American Type Culture Collection and having accession number ATCC 69789.
- 4. A host bacterium comprising the cosmid of claim 1, wherein at least one DNA fragment of said cosmid encodes 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase, and wherein said host converts a carbon source, other than glycerol or dihydroxyacetone, to 1,3-propanediol.
