Method for converting and producing carbonate minerals from carbon dioxide using recombinant biocatalyst

摘要

The present invention relates to a technique for capturing carbon dioxide and converting the carbon dioxide to carbonate minerals using a recombinant whole cell biocatalyst expressing carbonic anhydrase. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition for capturing carbon dioxide and a method for capturing carbon dioxide using the composition, which composition comprises a whole cell of a transformant formed with a vector including a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant carbonic anhydrase; a cell lysate or its fraction of the whole cell; or a recombinant carbonic anhydrase isolated from the whole cell. Further, the present invention relates to a composition and method for converting the carbon dioxide to carbonate minerals using the carbon dioxide capturing composition.

主权项

1. A composition for capturing carbon dioxide, the composition comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of:
an isolated host cell transformed with a vector comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encoding a recombinant carbonic anhydrase; a cell lysate of the isolated host cell, or a fraction thereof; and a carbonic anhydrase isolated from the isolated host cell, wherein the carbonic anhydrase has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.
