Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a novel microorganism having a minimal genome. In particular, provided are a method of producing a novel microorganism having a smaller genome size than a wild-type, the method including the step of culturing the microorganism in a medium containing LB broth with stepwise decreasing concentrations of the LB broth; and a novel microorganism having a smaller genome size than a wild-type, produced by the above method. Despite the small genome size, the novel microorganism of the present disclosure may have a high growth rate, pyruvate production capacity, and protein translation efficiency thereby being usefully applied to industry such as production of recombinant proteins or pyruvate.

Abstract: Provided is a recombinant microorganism having enhanced activity of at least one protein selected from 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) and foldase protein PrsA, a method of reducing a concentration of a fluorine-containing compound in a sample by using the recombinant microorganism, and a method of preparing the recombinant microorganism.

Abstract: Provided are a recombinant microorganism including a first genetic modification that increases activity of haloalkane dehalogenase (HAD) and a second genetic modification that increases expression of at least one of RcIR, RcIA, RcIB, and RcIC; a composition for reducing a concentration of fluorinated methane in a sample, wherein the composition includes the recombinant microorganism; and a method of reducing a concentration of fluorinated methane in a sample.
