Abstract
Abstract A biologically engineered plasmid coding for the production of β-glucosidase. The plasmid can be incorporated into various microorganisms to enable the microorganism to digest cellobiose, which is produced from cellulose by an endo- or exocellular cellulase. One particular application is the incorporation of this plasmid into a microorganism which produces ethanol. Preferably, this ethanol producing microorganism is also ethanol tolerant.
