PROCESS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION OF L-PIPECOLIC ACID

摘要

Producing L-pipecolic acid comprises reducing delta-1-piperidine-6-carboxylic acid with pyrrolidine-5-carboxylate reductase. Independent claims are also included for the following: (i) a recombinant Escherichia coli or coryneform bacterium that can express a gene encoding lysine-6-aminotransferase; and (ii) producing L-pipecolic acid by culturing the recombinant Escherichia coli or coryneform bacteria in a L-lysine-containing medium to accumulate the product for isolation.
