Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOIC ACID, AND MICROBES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/117168
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a method for producing polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) with microbes, the method having an improved PHA productivity; and PHA-producing microbes that are used for said method of production. Provided is a method for producing polyhydroxyalkanoic acid, comprising a step for culturing microbes that have a polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthase gene and have an inactivated gene that codes for a flagellar protein, and causing the microbes to produce polyhydroxyalkanoic acid. The microbes may be ones for which a lipase, a phosphatase, or a protein shown by the amino acid sequences listed in SEQ ID NO: 6 or 7 has been inactivated. The microbes may be Cupriavidus necator.
