Abstract:
One embodiment confirms an ability to produce 1,4-butanediol as a result of being expressed within colon bacillus by introducing, from Clostridiumsaccharoperbutylacetonicum, butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (bld) and butanol dehydrogenase (bdh), which are enzymes activities of which have not been reported so far, for two reactions (4-hydroxybutyraldehyde producing reaction in 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and 1,4-butanediol producing reaction in 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde) at the end among 1,4-butanediol biosynthesis paths. In particular, the production concentration of 1,4-butanediol was enhanced by strengthening activities of the butyraldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme with a method of evolution in direction.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A biosynthesis method of staphyloxanthin-like carotenoids of a novel structure is provided to obtain novel staphyloxanthin-like substances and to produce a large amount of useful substances. CONSTITUTION: A gene derived from Staphylococcus aureus has a base sequence of sequence number 1. A recombinant vector contains the gene of sequence number 1 and also contains CrtM(diapophytoene synthase) gene(sequence number 2), CrtN(diapophytoene desaturase) gene(sequence number 3), CrtP(diaponeurosporene oxidase) gene(sequence number 4), CrtQ(glycosyl transferase) gene(sequence number 5), or CrtO(acyl transferase) gene(sequence number 6). E.coli which is transformed with the recombinant vector produces carotenoid.
