NOVEL METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF 2,4-DIHYDROXYBUTIC ACID

摘要

The present invention deals with a method of producing 2,4-dihydroxybutyric acid (2,4-DHB) by a synthetic pathway comprising the transformation of malate in 4-phospho-malate using a malate kinase, said 4-phospho-malate being transformed in malate-4-semialdehyde using a malate semialdehyde dehydrogenase and said malate-4-semialdehyde being transformed in 2,4-DHB using a DHB dehydrogenase.
