摘要 |
The present invention concerns a microorganism genetically modified for the bioproduction of 1,3-propanediol from sucrose, wherein the microorganism comprises: a two-step metabolic pathway for the production of 1,3-propanediol, comprising a first step of decarboxylation of 4-hydroxy-2-ketobutyrate with an enzyme having a 2-keto acid decarboxylase activity, and a second step of reduction of the obtained 3 -hydroxypropionaldehyde with an enzyme having hydroxy aldehyde reductase activity, and genes enabling the microorganism to utilize sucrose as sole carbon source. The invention also concerns a new method for the biological preparation of 1,3-propanediol by fermentation, comprising cultivating said microorganism genetically modified, wherein the culture is performed in an appropriate medium comprising a source of sucrose, and recovering the 1,3 -propanediol being produced. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the source of sucrose is obtained from plant biomass.
