RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM HAVING BUTANOL PRODUCTION CAPACITY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING BUTANOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve butanol production capacity in a recombinant microorganism, and to efficiently produce butanol by using the recombinant microorganism.

SOLUTION: An acetoacetyl-CoA synthase gene encoding an enzyme synthesizing the acetoacetyl-CoA from malonyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA, and a butanol biosynthesis-related gene cluster for synthesizing the butanol from the acetoacetyl-CoA are introduced into a host microorganism.
