Title:
METHODS OF PRODUCING 7-CARBON CHEMICALS VIA CARBON CHAIN ELONGATION ASSOCIATED WITH CYCLOHEXANE CARBOXYLATE SYNTHESIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/105788
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the carbon chain elongation enzymes or homologs thereof associated with the cyclohexane carboxylate biosynthesis from Syntrophus aciditrophicus or 2-aminoadipate lysine biosynthesis.
