RECOMBINANT BACTERIA COMPRISING NOVEL SUCROSE TRANSPORTERS

摘要

Recombinant bacteria capable of metabolizing sucrose are described. The recombinant bacteria comprise in their genome or on at least one recombinant construct a novel nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having sucrose transporter activity and a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having sucrose hydrolase activity. These nucleotide sequences are each operably linked to the same or a different promoter. Recombinant bacteria capable of metabolizing sucrose to produce glycerol and/or glycerol derived products such as 1 3 propanediol and 3 hydroxypropionic acid are also described.
