Provided is a method for construction of recombinant bacteria for producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid. The method includes: knocking out fadR, fabF and fabH genes of recipient bacteria, introducing acc genes or gene clusters, alKL and Mcr genes, and enhancing the expression of fadL, fadD, sthA genes and atoSC gene clusters in the recipient bacteria. Also provided is a method for producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid by using the recombinant bacteria.

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.

The present invention relates to a novel promoter for regulating ADH gene expression in an organic acid-resistant yeast, and a method of producing an organic acid by expressing an organic acid production-related gene using the same. When an organic acid production-related target gene is expressed in the organic acid-resistant yeast using the novel promoter according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that the yeast can produce the organic acid with high efficiency while having resistance to the organic acid without inhibiting the growth ability of the yeast.

The present disclosure provides methods for utilizing genetically modified microbes to co-produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) and acetyl-CoA, and derivatives thereof from malonate semialdehyde as a common single intermediate. The disclosure further provides modified microbe that co-produce the 3-HP and acetyl-CoA derivatives from malonate semialdehyde.

Microorganisms are genetically engineered to produce 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP). The microorganisms are carboxydotrophic acetogens. The microorganisms produce acetyl-coA using the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for fixing CO/CO.sub.2. A -alanine pyruvate aminotransferase from a microorganism that contains such an enzyme is introduced. Additionally, an acetyl-coA carboxylase may also be introduced. The production of 3-HP can be improved. This can be effected by improved promoters or higher copy number or enzymes that are catalytically more efficient.

Provided are engineered organisms which can convert methane or methanol to 3-hydroxypropionate.

Methods and materials for the production of beta hydroxy acids, such as 3-hydroxypropanoic acid (3-HP) and derivatives and compounds related thereto are provided. Also provided are products produced in accordance with these methods and materials.

A yeast cell having a reduced level of activity of NAD dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has at least one exogenous gene encoding NADP dependent GAPDH and/or has up-regulation of at least one endogenous gene expressing NADP dependent GAPDH, wherein combined expression of the enzymes NADP dependent GAPDH, PDC, ALD, ACS, ACC* and MCR in said host cell increases metabolic flux towards 3-HP via malonyl-CoA compared to an otherwise similar yeast cell lacking said genetic modification.

Bacteria are genetically engineered to produce 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP). The bacteria are carboxydotrophic acetogens. The bacteria produce acetyl-coA using the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for fixing CO/CO.sub.2. A malonyl-coA reductase from a bacterium that contains such an enzyme is introduced. Additionally, an acetyl-coA carboxylase may also be introduced The production of 3-HP can be improved by overproduction of acetyl-CoA carboxylase or by overproduction of biotin. This can be effected by improved promoters or higher copy number or enzymes that are catalytically more efficient.
