  • Transformant and process for producing polyester by using the same
    Publication number: 20040146998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gene coding for a copolyester-synthesizing enzyme, a microorganism which utilizes said gene for the fermentative synthesis of a polyester, and a method of producing a polyester with the aid of said microorganism. More particularly, the present invention relates to a gene which functions in a host organism and is related to synthesize, by an enzyme, a plastic-like polymer degradable under the action of microorganisms in the natural environment (the soil, river or sea), a transformant derived from said host organism by transformation with said gene and having an improved ability to fermentatively synthesize a plastic-like polymer, and a method of producing a copolyester with the aid of said transformant.
