Title:
METHODS OF PRODUCING 7-CARBON CHEMICALS VIA PYRUVATE AND SUCCINATE SEMIALDEHYDE ALDOL CONDENSATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/105797
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing one or more of pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine and 1,7-heptanediol by forming one or two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl groups, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate produced from succinate semialdehyde or pyruvate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the aldol condensation of succinate semialdehyde and pyruvate.
