摘要:
The present invention relates to new lactaldehyde reductase (LAR) enzymes useful for the production of 1,2-propane-diol and to microorganisms overexpressing said enzymes. The invention also relates to a method for producing 1,2-propanediol by converting lactaldehyde into 1,2-propanediol with said enzymes.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for the production of a biochemical selected among acetol and 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, ethylene glycol and 1,4-butanediol comprising culturing a microorganism modified for an improved production of the biochemical selected among acetol and 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, ethylene glycol and 1,4-butanediol in an appropriate culture medium and recovery of the desired biochemical which may be further purified wherein the microorganism expresses a YqhD enzyme which catalytic efficiency toward NADPH is increased.The present invention also relates to a mutant YqhD enzyme comprising at least one amino acid residue in the protein sequence of the parent enzyme replaced by a different amino acid residue at the same position wherein the mutant enzyme has retained more than 50% of the YqhD activity of the parent enzyme and the catalytic efficiency toward NADPH of the mutant YqhD is increased as compared with the catalytic efficiency toward NADPH of the parent enzyme.

摘要:
The present invention discloses a DL-alanine-producing engineering bacterium. This DL-alanine-producing engineering bacterium itself was inactivated in lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate formate lyase, alcohol dehydrogenase, acetate kinase, fumarate reductase, alanine racemase, and methylglyoxal synthase; moreover, onto the chromosome thereof an exogenous L-alanine dehydrogenase gene and alanine racemase gene were integrated. In the present application, by integrating the exogenous L-alanine dehydrogenase gene into the chromosome of the engineering bacterium, the intermediate of glycolysis, pyruvic acid, was converted into L-alanine; by further integrating the exogenous alanine racemase gene, partial L-alanine was converted into D-alanine, achieving the direct production of DL-alanine from raw material saccharides, thereby decreasing the production cycle of DL-alanine, and increasing the yield of DL-alanine.
