METHOD FOR PRODUCING D-LACTIC ACID

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium capable of producing D-lactic acid; and a method for producing D-lactic acid from an inorganic carbon source using the bacterium.SOLUTION: This bacterium capable of producing D-lactic acid is obtained by introducing a polynucleotide encoding D-lactate dehydrogenase into a hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium. The method for producing D-lactic acid includes culturing the bacterium.
