METHOD FOR PRODUCING PHENYL PROPANE-BASED COMPOUND USING MICRO-ORGANISMS

摘要

The objective of the present invention is to provide a method which specifically and efficiently produces a compound having a phenyl propane structure from natural biomass containing lignins by exerting the action of micro-organisms. The abovementioned objective is solved by a method for producing a phenyl propane-based compound that includes a step for obtaining the phenyl propane-based compound by exerting the action of micro-organisms of the genus Novosphingobium on biomass containing lignins and/or lignin-related substances.
