Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism capable of producing putrescine at high yield due to inactivated activity of a protein having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 in the microorganism, and a method of producing putrescine using the microorganism.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An isolated microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity, wherein a protein having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 is inactivated. 2. The microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity according to claim 1 , wherein an activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is further introduced into the microorganism. 3. The microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity according to claim 2 , wherein the ODC has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 10. 4. The microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity according to claim 1 , wherein acetyltransferase activity is further inactivated in the microorganism. 5. The microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity according to claim 4 , wherein the acetyltransferase comprises an amino acid represented by SEQ ID NO: 15 or 16. 6. The microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity according to claim 1 , wherein the microorganism is Corynebacterium glutamicum. 7. A method of producing putrescine, comprising: culturing a microorganism of genus Corynebacterium having putrescine productivity wherein a protein having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 is inactivated, in a culture medium; and separating putrescine from the cultured microorganism or the culture medium obtained from the above step. 8. The method of producing putrescine according to claim 7 , wherein the microorganism of genus Corynebacterium is Corynebacterium glutamicum.
