A METHOD FOR PRODUCING 1,3-PROPANEDIOL BY FERMENTATION OF A RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM
Provided is a method for producing 1,3-propanediol by means of fermentation of a recombinant microorganism. First, a recombinant microorganism is provided; the recombinant microorganism can overexpress acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes: accBC and accDA, a malonyl-CoA synthetase gene, mcr, a 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthetase gene: pcs, a 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA reductase gene: pduP, and a 1,3-propanediol reductase gene: yqhD. The recombinant microorganism is subjected to fermentation culture in a flask or ferment or using glucose ad as raw material to obtain the 1,3-propanediol. The recombinant microorganism can utilize low-cost glucose, sucrose, malasses, xylose and the like as raw material in the fermentation process, without additional expensive vitamin B12. Thus, cost of the production is significantly reduced, and there is a promising prospect in market.
FUNGAL CELLS FOR PRODUCTION OF FATTY ACIDS AND FATTY ACID-DERIVED PRODUCTS
A fungal cell is capable of producing high levels of fatty acids and fatty acid-derived products. The fungal cell comprises at least one modification to the endogenous fatty acid metabolism.
ANAEROBIC CO-PRODUCTION OF ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS, ALCOHOLS AND LIPIDS FROM MOLASSES, HYDROLYSED STARCH AND LIGNOCELLULOSE
The invention provides a genetically modified eukaryotic microorganism for anaerobic production of essential amino acids and optionally the co-production of one or more co-products. The microorganism is genetically modified to redirect carbon flow from PEP via oxaloacetate and asparatate semialdehyde, towards the synthesis of increased amounts of essential amino acids. The microorganism may be genetically modified to produce increased amounts of one or more co-product by enhancing carbon flow from PEP via pyruvate, acetyl CoA and malonyl CoA to produce alcohols and lipids, such as triglycerides, fatty esters, fatty alcohols, fatty aldehydes, fatty amides. The invention provides a method for anaerobic production of essential amino acids using the genetically modified eukaryotic microorganism and optionally co-production of said one or more co-products. The genetically modified eukaryotic microorganism may be used for the anaerobic production of essential amino acids and optionally the co-production of said one or more co-products.
