    摘要: Provided is a device for continuously manufacturing an organic substance with high productivity, in which a means is installed whereby a synthesis gas having a specific nutrient source concentration for microbes in a continuous fermenter is stored with good efficiency and the gas composition thereof is made uniform in a stage prior to supplying the synthesis gas to the fermenter including microbes, so that uniformity of the synthesis gas composition is ensured. A device for manufacturing an organic substance, provided with a gas generating unit for gasifying a carbon source and generating a starting material gas, a gas supply unit for supplying a synthesis gas including the starting material gas to a fermenter, and a fermenter for microbial fermentation of the synthesis gas in the fermenter, a gas circulation unit for making the gas composition uniform being further provided between the gas generating unit and the gas supply unit or to the gas supply unit.

    摘要: Microorganisms and microbial production methods for the biosynthesis of ester compounds are provided. Useful examples employ microorganisms that have been genetically modified to express alcohol acyltransferases, either from other species or that have been modified to increase their activity in catalyzing the esterification of alcohols. Additional useful examples employ microorganisms that have been genetically modified to express lipases, either from other species or that have been modified to increase their activity in catalyzing the esterification of organic acids. Additional modifications are presented that significantly increase ester production.
