Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a low molecular weight organic compound (e.g. a plant or bacteria secondary metabolite) in increased yields involving use of a microorganism cell, which comprises a gene involved in the biosynthesis pathway leading to a low molecular weight organic aglycon compound and a glycosyltransferase gene capable of glycosylating the produced aglycon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A microbial cell for higher production of vanillin, said cell comprising at least the following three heterologous enzymatic activities: i) a 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase ii) an aromatic carboxylic acid reductase; and iii) a 3-O-methyl transferase; wherein said cell has been transformed with an expression vector comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encoding an UDPG-glycosyltransferase capable of glycosylating vanillin.…
