FERMENTATIVE PRODUCTION OF HYDROXYTYROSOL

摘要

The present invention relates to a newly identified microorganisms capable of direct production of hydroxytyrosol (hereinafter also referred to as Hy-T) from a carbon source obtainable from the D-glucose metabolization pathway. The invention also relates to polynucleotide sequences comprising genes that encode proteins which are involved in the synthesis of Hy-T. The invention also relates to genetically engineered microorganisms and their use for the direct production of Hy-T.
