Title:
RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM FOR PRODUCING S-METHYLMETHIONINE, AND METHOD FOR PREPARING S-METHYLMETHIONINE USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/055056
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having the ability to produce S-methylmethionine (SMM) by overexpressing a gene that encodes methionine S-methylmethionine transferase (MMT) in a microorganism having glycolysis and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) biosynthetic pathway processes, and a method for producing SMM using the recombinant microorganism. According to the present invention, S-methylmethionine can be produced with excellent yield through microbial biosynthesis, unlike conventional plant extraction or chemical synthesis, and this is expected to be usable as a core technology for S-methylmethionine production.
