Abstract:
A method of manufacturing 1,4-butanediol through acetyl-CoA, acetoacetyl-CoA, 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA, and 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA by using a microbe and/or a culture thereof, wherein the microbe in the manufacturing method for 1,4-butanediol includes any one of genes among (a) a gene that has a base sequence of sequence number 1, (b) a gene that has a base sequence such that one or more bases are deleted, substituted, or added in a base sequence of sequence number 1, wherein the gene has a base sequence with an identity greater than or equal to 90% with respect to the base sequence of sequence number 1, and (c) a gene that hybridizes with a gene that has a base sequence complementary with a gene that has a base sequence described in sequence number 1 on a stringent condition, and includes any one or more genes among (d) genes that have base sequences of sequence numbers 2 to 9, (e) genes that have base sequences such that one or more bases are deleted, substituted, or added in base sequences of sequence numbers 2 to 9, wherein the genes have base sequences with an identity greater than or equal to 90% with respect to original base sequences thereof, and (f) genes that hybridize with genes that have base sequences complementary with genes that have base sequences of sequence numbers 2 to 9 on a stringent condition.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing 1,4-butanediol, using a microbe and/or a culture thereof, by an enzyme reaction system that uses acyl-CoA reductase, via 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA and 4-hydroxybutyryl CoA in this order, wherein the reactivity of the acyl-CoA reductase to 4-hydroxybutyryl CoA is greater than or equal to 0.05 times of the reactivity of the acyl-CoA reductase to 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a butanediol through 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA that uses a microbe and/or a culture thereof and utilizes an enzyme reaction that is caused by an acyl-CoA reductase, wherein the microbe in the manufacturing method for a butanediol is characterized in that an activity of an acyl-CoA hydratase (EC number: 3. 1. 2. −) is deleted or reduced.
