Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING 1,3-PROPYLENE GLYCOL BY MEANS OF FERMENTATION OF RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/119789
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing 1,3-propylene glycol by means of fermentation of a recombinant microorganism. First, a recombinant microorganism is provided; the recombinant microorganism can overexpress the acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene accBC and accDA, express the malonyl-CoA synthetase gene mcr, and express the 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthetase gene pcs, the 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA reductase gene pduP and the 1,3-propylene glycol reductase gene yqhD. The recombinant microorganism is subjected to fermentation culture in a shake flask or a fermentor using glucose as a substrate to obtain 1,3-propylene glycol. The recombinant microorganism can utilize low-cost glucose, sucrose, molasses, xylose and the like as raw materials in the fermentation process, and expensive coenzyme B12 is not needed, thus, production cost is significantly reduced, and a good market application prospect is brought about.
