METHODS AND MICROORGANISMS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 3-(2-HYDROXY-3-METHYL-BUTYRYLAMINO)-PROPIONIC ACID (HMBPA)
摘要
The present invention features methods of producting 3-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-butyrylamino)-propionic acid ("HMBPA") and alpha -hydroxyisovalerate (" alpha -HIV") utilizing microorganisms having modified pantothenate biosynthetic enzyme activities. Recombinant microorganisms and conditions for culturing same are also featured. Also featured are compositions including HMBPA and compositions including alpha -HIV.
