  • Useful microorganism and method for producing substance of interest
    Patent number: 10781461
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a bacterial strain that can decrease the amount of an intermediate Compound P converted into Metabolite M and efficiently accumulate Compound P in a medium that is not supplemented with Metabolite M or the final product generated from Metabolite M. The present invention provides a prokaryotic organism having all features (a) to (d) as defined in the specification so as to accumulate Compound P by regulating expression level of Enzyme X that converts Compound P as an intermediate metabolite into Metabolite M in a biosynthetic pathway in which Metabolite M indispensable for the growth is produced from a carbon source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignee: Kao Corporation
    Inventors: Kougo Iida, Takumi Iwasaki, Tatsunari Nishi
