Chondroitin-producing bacterium and method of producing chondroitin

摘要

Chondroitin is produced by culturing a UDP-glucuronic acid-producing bacterium transfected with a kfoA gene derived from Escherichia coli K4 strain and a kfoC gene derived from Escherichia coli K4 strain and having chondroitin-producing ability. Chondroitin is collected from the bacterium.
