Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A modified microorganism containing a genetic modification that suppresses a transcription factor that controls expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase, in which the microorganism has and a production pathway of a C6 compound, and in which the C6 compound is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine, 1,6-hexanediol, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 6-amino-1-hexanol, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, 3-oxoadipic acid, 3-hydroxyadipic acid, and 2,3-dehydroadipic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A modified microorganism comprising a genetic modification that suppresses a transcription factor that controls expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase, wherein the microorganism has a production pathway of a C6 compound, and wherein the C6 compound is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine, 1,6-hexanediol, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 6-amino-1-hexanol, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, 3-oxoadipic acid, 3-hydroxyadipic acid, and 2,3-dehydroadipic acid. 2 . The modified microorganism according to claim 1 , wherein the genetic modification that suppresses a transcription factor that controls expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase is one or more selected from: a modification that suppresses expression of a gene encoding the transcription factor. and a modification that reduces an activity of the transcription factor in comparison to a non-reduced strain. 3 . The modified microorganism according to claim 1 , wherein the modified microorganism belongs to a genus selected from the group consisting of Escherichia, Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter, Brevibacterium, Clostridium, Zymomonas, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Streptomyces, Rhodococcus, Synechocystis, Alkalihalobacillus, Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, Yarrowia, Candida, Pichia, and Aspergillus. 4 . The modified microorganism according to claim 1 wherein the modified microorganism is Escherichia coli. 5 . The modified microorganism according to claim 1 wherein the transcription factor that controls expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase is PdhR. 6 . A method for producing a C6 compound, the method comprising a culture step of culturing the modified microorganism according to claim 1 .
