Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour la production d'acide (hydroxy-4 phénoxy)-2 propionique à partir d'acide phénoxy-2 propionique ou de ses sels, en présence d'un micro-organisme capable de transformer de l'acide phénoxy-2 propionique en acide (hydroxy-4 phénoxy)-2 propionique. Le procédé selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le micro-organisme contient au moins un des gènes contenus dans les séquences SEQ ID n° 1 ou SEQ ID n° 4 ou leurs équivalents fonctionnels. L'invention concerne également des séquences d'ADN isolées d'identification SEQ ID n° 1 ou SEQ ID n° 4, ainsi qu'un produit génique contenant les séquences nommées. L'invention concerne enfin un micro-organisme contenant le produit génique et l'utilisation des séquences et du produit génique pour la production d'acide (hydroxy-4 phénoxy)-2 propionique.
