Short-chain dehydrogenases (SDRs) which catalyze the dehydrogenation/reduction reaction have a wide range of substrate specificities. In this study, we report the molecular characterization of a transcript encoding SDR from the red seaweed, Gracilaria changii (Rhodophyta) as part of our effort to el...
