L-LACTATE PRODUCTION IN CYANOBACTERIA

摘要

A process of producing L-lactate as defined herein by feeding carbon dioxide to a culture of a cyanobacterial cell and subjecting said culture to light, wherein said cell is capable of expressing a nucleic acid molecule, wherein the expression of said nucleic acid molecule confer on the cell the ability to convert a glycolytic intermediate into L- lactate and wherein said nucleic acid molecule is under the control of a regulatory system which responds to light or to a change in the concentration of a nutrient in said culture.
