1-BUTANOL-PRODUCING BACTERIA AND METHOD OF PRODUCING 1-BUTANOL

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a bacterial cell in which fatty acid -oxidation enzyme activity is higher compared to a non-modified organism. In particular, the cell has high activity of acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA-hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and 3-ketoacyl-CoA-thiolase. Butanol is obtained by culturing said cell in a culture mediuim and extracting the produced and accumulated 1-butanol from the culture medium. ^ EFFECT: disclosed bacteria can be used in large-scale production of 1-butanol for industrial application. ^ 23 cl, 4 tbl, 8 ex
