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.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for preparing 3-HP(3-hydroxypropionic acid) and 1,3-PDO(1,3-propandiol) using microorganisms is provided to convert a glycerol substrate into 3-HP and 1,3-PDO. CONSTITUTION: A recombinant microorganism for preparing 3-HP and 1,3-PDO contains genes producing the compounds. The genes are dhaB(glycerol dehydratease), alhH(aldehyde dehydrogenase), and dhaT(1,3-propandiol oxidoreductase). dhaB gene is derived from K. pneumoniae or C. butyricum. alhH gene is derived from E.coli. The recombinant microorganism is E.coli. A method for producing 3-HP and 1,3-PDO comprises a step of culturing the recombinant microorganism in a medium containing a carbon substrate. The carbon substrate is glucose, sucrose, cellulose, or glycerol.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for producing bio alcohol using a polynucleotide which enhances alcohol resistance of host cells is provided to enhance productivity in alcohol fermentation. CONSTITUTION: An isolated polynucleotide comprises: a polynucleotide comprising nucleotide having 90% or more identity with a nucleotide selected from sequence numbers 1-8; a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising amino acids having 90% or more identity with amino acids selected from sequence numbers 14-20; a polynucleotide comprising nucleotide sequence hybridizing with the selected nucleotide sequence under severe condition; and a polypeptide encoding polypeptide.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for preparing bio-fuel using brown algae is provided to effectively saccharify brown algae and use in producing industrial bio-fuel. CONSTITUTION: A bio-fuel is prepared by adding hydrolyze catalyst of Bacterium Antarctica, culture liquid of Bacterium Antarctica, supernatant of the culture liquid, or pulverized liquid of the culture liquid to brown algae through sacchificiation. The brown algae is laminaria japonica, gulfweed, ecklonia cava, rhei Rhizoma, or sargassum thunbergii. The Bacterium Antarctica contains 16S rRNA having 95% of homology with a sequence corresponding to Bacterium antarctica AL-1(deposit number KCTC 11531 BP). A base sequence of 16S rRNA has sequence number 1.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A recombinant microorganism which produces 3-hydroxypropionic acid(3-HP) using a malonic semialdehyde reduction pathway is provided to remarkably enhance 3-HP productivity by gene manipulation. CONSTITUTION: A recombinant microorganism for producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid has a pathway for sequentially producing pyruvate, acetyl Co, malonyl-CoA, and malonic semialdehyde. The microorganism includes Escherichia sp., Saccharomyces sp., or Kluyveromyces sp. A gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase is IdhA or a homolog or a variant thereof. A gene encoding phosphotransacetylase is pta or a homolog or a variant thereof.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An expression vector which overexpresses target proteins, and a method for producing the target protein are provided to obtain the proteins in K. marxianus. CONSTITUTION: An expression vector contains: a replication origin; a CYC promoter, a TEF promoter, a GPD promoter, or an ADH promoter; and a terminator. The CYC promoter contains a sequence of sequence number 1 or a sequence having 70% or more sequence homology with the sequence of sequence number 1. The TEF promoter has a sequence of sequence number 2 or a sequence with 70% or more sequence homology with the sequence of sequence number 2. GPD promoter contains a sequence of sequence number 3 or a sequence having 70% or more homology with the sequence of sequence number 3. The ADH promoter has a sequence of sequence number 4 or a sequence having 70% or more sequence homology with the sequence of sequence number 4.
