PURPOSE: A deformed microorganism for production of 1,4-butanediol is provided to produce 1,4-BDO by a biological producing process. CONSTITUTION: A deformed microorganism for production of 1.4-butanediol comprises: an activation converting alpha-ketoglutarate or succinate into 4-hydroxybutyril-CoA ("4-HB-CoA"); and an activation converting the 4-HB-CoA into 1,4-butanediols ("1,4-BDO"). The activation converting the 4-HB-CoA into the 1,4-BDO is coded by more than one kind of genes selected from a group comprising adh1, yiaY, adh4, adhB, mdh, eutG, fucO, dhaT, aldA, eutE, adhE1, adhE2 and adh2.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A high throughput screening system and a method of lactic acid-producing strains using two or more pH indicators are provided to quickly and accurately screen strains. CONSTITUTION: A high throughput screening system of lactic acid-producing strains contains the strain, a medium, and two or more pH indicators. The strains are a wild type strain, a mutant strain, and a recombinant strain. The pH indicators contain bromocresol green and methyl red in a ratio of 2:1-10:1. A method for screening the lactic acid-producing strains comprises: a step of adding the pH indicators to a medium; a step of culturing the strains; and a step of observing color change of the pH indicators, and measuring lactic acid production quantity.

PURPOSE: An SNR84 gene enhancing usability of galactose metabolism is provided to enhance metabolic rate of galactose and enhance productivity of bioalcohol from carbon source. CONSTITUTION: An SNR84 gene enhances galactose metabolism rate. The gene is denoted by sequence number 1. A pRS424 recombinant vector contains the SNR84 gene of sequence number 1. A transformed recombinant microorganism is obtained using the recombinant vector. The recombinant microorganism overexpresses the SNR84 gene. The microorganism is yeast. The yeast is Saccharomyces sp., Pachysolen sp., Clavispora sp., Kluyveromyces sp., Debaryomyces sp., Schwanniomyces sp., Candida sp., Pichia sp., or Dekkera sp. The deposit number KCTC 11388 BP of the recombinant microorganism is CEN.PK2-1D/pRS424-SNR84.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a metabolism network model of Corynebacterium glutamicum for producing 1,4-BDO by Corynebacterium glutamicum, which is a strain that does not produce 1,4-BDO in a natural state. On the basis of the network model, metabolic properties of Corynebacterium glutamicum are analyzed. By predicting effects of a deletion target enzyme (ldhA, mqo or mdh) in a state in which Cat1, sucD, 4hbD, cat2 and adhE are included, and removing them, production efficiency of 1,4-BDO and increase of 1,4-BDO under the same fermentation conditions are confirmed. In addition, transformation microorganism produced by the method can produce 1,4-BDO in high efficiency, and therefore, can be effectively used in the industries.
