Novel genes have been isolated which encode cytochrome P450 and NADPH
reductase enzymes of the .omega.-hydroxylase complex of C. tropicalis
20336. Vectors including these genes, transfected host cells and
transformed host cells are provided. Methods of producing of cytochrome
P450 and NADPH reductase enzymes are also provided which involve
transforming a host cell with a gene encoding these enzymes and culturing
the cells. Methods of increasing the production of a dicarboxylic acid
and methods of increasing production of the aforementioned enzymes are
also provided which involve increasing in the host cell the number of
genes encoding these enzymes. A method for discriminating members of a
gene family by quantifying the expression of genes is also provided.
