  • CORYNEFORM BACTERIUM TRANSFORMANT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PHENOL USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20130273624
    Abstract: Provided is a phenol-producing transformant constructed by transferring a gene which encodes an enzyme having chorismate-pyruvate lyase activity and a gene which encodes an enzyme having 4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase activity into a coryneform bacterium as a host. Also provided is a process for producing phenol, which comprises a step of allowing the transformant to react in a reaction mixture containing a saccharide under reducing conditions, and a step of collecting phenol from the reaction mixture.
    Type: Application

  • CORYNEFORM BACTERIUM TRANSFORMANT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PHENOL USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20130267000
    Abstract: Provided is a phenol-producing transformant constructed by transferring a gene which encodes an enzyme having tyrosine phenol-lyase activity into a coryneform bacterium as a host. Also provided is a process for producing phenol, which comprises a step of allowing the transformant to react in a reaction mixture containing tyrosine, a salt thereof, or an ester thereof under reducing conditions, and a step of collecting phenol from the reaction mixture.

  • CORYNEFORM BACTERIUM TRANSFORMANT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PHENOL USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20130203139
    Abstract: A phenol-producing transformant constructed by transferring a gene which encodes an enzyme having tyrosine phenol-lyase activity into Corynebacterium glutamicum as a host can efficiently produce phenol from a saccharide. Specifically, preferred is a process which comprises a step of reacting the transformant in a reaction mixture containing a saccharide under reducing conditions, and a step of collecting phenol from the reaction mixture.
