RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALIPHATIC POLYESTER WITH THE USE OF THE SAME

摘要

This invention provides a recombinant microorganism exhibiting excellent aliphatic polyester productivity and a method for producing an aliphatic polyester with the use of the recombinant microorganism. In this invention, the Megasphaera elsdenii-derived pct gene (and/or the Staphylococcus aureus-derived pct gene) and the Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 strain-derived PHA synthase gene (phaC2 gene) (and/or the Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 strain-derived PHA synthase gene) are introduced into a host microorganism.
