  • capable of producing 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid
    Patent number: 9587259
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for conveniently and inexpensively producing an amino-hydroxybenzoic acid-type compound such as 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid by utilizing Escherichia coli that is a bacterium commonly used for a production process by biosynthesis. Specifically, the present invention provides an Escherichia coli having an ability to produce 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is modified to reduce an activity of N-hydroxyarylamine O-acetyltransferase (NhoA); a method for producing a 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid-type compound using such Escherichia coli; and the like.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for producing 3-acetylamino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid
    Patent number: 9447443
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for conveniently and efficiently producing a 3-acetylamino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid-type compound that is a stable compound by a process using a microorganism. Specifically the present invention provides a microorganism having an ability to produce 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, that is modified so as to increase an activity to form 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and aspartate semialdehyde, wherein the microorganism is modified so as to increase an N-hydroxyarylamine O-acetyltransferase (NhoA) activity, as well as a method for producing the 3-acetylamino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid-type compound using such a microorganism.
