ESCHERICHIA GENUS MICROORGANISM LACKING EUTE GENE OR PUUC GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING RETINOID USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an Escherichia genus microorganism lacking an EutE gene or a PuuC gene, and to a method for producing retinoid using same, and more specifically, to a method for producing retinoid comprising: the Escherichia genus microorganism lacking or having a diminished EutE gene, PuuC gene, which are capable of producing retinoid, or a combination thereof; and separating retinoid from a cultivated product which is obtained by cultivating the microorganism. All of these inventions are based on a confirmation of enzyme activity with respect to retinal and retinoid of EutE and PuuC proteins.
