摘要:
A method of increasing the production a difunctional alkane in a microorganism that produces a difunctional alkane from alpha-keto acid by increasing the production of homocitrate in the cell relative to a wild-type or parent cell. The production of homocitrate may be obtained by engineering pathways that increase the production of alpha-ketoacid, such as alpha-ketoglutarate.
摘要:
Recombinant microorganisms comprising at least one exogenous nucleic acid sequence and capable of producing adipate semialdehyde are provided. Adipate semialdehyde may be produced in a synthesis pathway utilizing a single thiolase reaction. Adipate semialdehyde may also be produced from intermediates consisting of alpha, omega difunctional aliphatic organic molecules. Methods of using recombinant microorganisms to produce 6-aminocaproic acid, adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine and 1.6-hexanediol are also provided.
摘要:
A chemical having the formula (S) 2-amino-6-hydroxypimelate. (S)-2-amino-6-hydroxypimelate can be made using a method comprising culturing a cell comprising an exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding an enzyme that catalyzes the substrate to product conversion of (S)-2-amino-6-oxopimelate to (S)-2-amino-6-hydroxypimelate and separating the (S)-2-amino-6-hydroxypimelate. The cell may be a recombinant microorganism for producing aminocaproic acid or hexamethylenediamine from (S)-2-amino-6-hydroxypimelate comprising at least one exogenous nucleic acid sequence that expresses at least one polypeptide with substrate preference for homolysine, and amino acid decarboxylase with substrate preference for alpha-aminopimelate.
