摘要:
This invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having improved butanol production capacity and butanol production with the use of such recombinant microorganism with good efficiency. In this invention, the acetoacetyl-CoA synthase gene encoding an enzyme capable of synthesizing acetoacetyl-CoA from malonyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA and a group of genes involved in butanol biosynthesis that enables synthesis of butanol from acetoacetyl-CoA are introduced into a host microorganism.
摘要:
This invention provides a recombinant yeast that can produce branched alcohol appropriate for automotive fuel and the like and a branched alcohol production method whereby branched alcohol can be produced at low cost with the use of the recombinant yeast.A recombinant yeast in which a hydroxymethyl glutaryl-CoA reductase gene has been expressed to a high degree and the ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase gene and/or the yhfR gene are introduced so as to be expressed therein is provided.
