Abstract:
Un procedimiento de producción de un compuesto orgánico, comprendiendo el procedimiento I) cultivar un microorganismo modificado genéticamente en un medio de cultivo que comprende la sacarosa como una fuente de carbono asimilable para permitir que el microorganismo modificado genéticamente produzca el compuesto orgánico, II) recuperar el compuesto orgánico del caldo de fermentación obtenido en la etapa I del procedimiento), en el que el microorganismo modificado genéticamente comprende A) al menos una modificación genética que conduce a una mayor actividad de la enzima codificada por el gen rbsK, en comparación con el microorganismo original que no ha sido modificado genéticamente, en el que al menos una modificación genética A) comprende una sobreexpresión del gen rbsK, en el que el microorganismo original pertenece a la familia Pasteurellaceae y en el que el compuesto orgánico es ácido succínico.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of producing an organic compound, the process comprising I) cultivating a genetically modified microorganism in a culture medium comprising sucrose as an assimilable carbon source to allow the genetically modified microorganism to produce the organic compound, II) recovering the organic compound from the fermentation broth obtained in process step I), wherein the genetically modified microorganism comprises A) at least one genetic modification that leads to an increased activity of the enzyme encoded by the rbsK-gene, compared to the original microorganism that has not been genetically modified, and wherein the original microorganism belongs to the family Pasteurellaceae. The present invention also relates to a genetically modified microorganism and to the use thereof for the fermentative production of an organic compound from sucrose as an assimilable carbon source.
