  • Publication number: 20230242951
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel yeast mutant strain for producing a ceramide precursor, and a method for preparing the same, and more specifically, to a Pichia ciferrii mutant strain genetically engineered to overexpress sphingolipid metabolites prepared through the reconstruction of metabolic pathways for ceramide production in Pichia ciferrii, or a method for preparing the mutant strain.

  • Patent number: 11162121
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a medium chain diamine and, more specifically, to a method for producing a medium chain diamine from an alcohol or alkane derived from a fatty acid, by culturing a recombinant microorganism from which a fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase gene in a ?-oxidative metabolic pathway and a ?-oxidative metabolic pathway related gene have been deleted, and also into which a ?-transaminase gene has been introduced. The recombinant microorganism disclosed in the present invention can prevent the additional oxidation and ?-oxidation metabolism of fatty aldehyde and can produce a medium chain diamine with a high yield by introducing an amine group to the terminus thereof.

  • Patent number: 11091741
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing medium chain diol and, more particularly to recombinant microorganisms in which fatty alcohol dehydrogenase and/or fatty alcohol oxidase genes on a ?-oxidative metabolism pathway are deleted, the fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase genes are optionally deleted, and ?-oxidative metabolism pathway-related genes are deleted, and to a method for producing medium chain diol from fatty acid-derived alcohol or alkane by culturing the recombinant microorganisms. The recombinant microorganisms of the present invention can produce a high yield of medium chain diol by preventing further oxidation and ?-oxidative metabolism of fatty alcohols.

  • Publication number: 20180327724
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a medium chain aminocarboxylic acid and, more particularly, to a recombinant microorganism in which a fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase gene in ?-oxidative metabolic pathway and a ?-oxidative metabolic pathway-related gene are deleted and a ?-transaminase gene is introduced, and a method for producing a medium chain aminocarboxylic acid by culturing the recombinant microorganism. The recombinant microorganism of the present invention can prevent additional oxidation of fatty aldehyde and ?-oxidative metabolism and also produce a medium chain aminocarboxylic acid, such as 12-aminodecane, as a raw material of nylon 12 from a substrate such as fatty acid with a high yield by introducing an amine group into a terminal thereof.
