  • PROCESS OF INCREASING CELLULAR PRODUCTION OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20100143976
    Abstract: A method of increasing production of a methylmalonyl-CoA derivative in a bacterium is disclosed that includes providing a bacterium that produces a methylmalonyl-CoA derivative in which methylmalonyl-CoA mutase function has been inhibited and culturing the bacterium in a medium containing an effective amount of methylmalonyl-CoA or a precursor thereof to increase the production of the methylmalonyl-CoA derivative by the bacterium. The production of the methylmalonyl-CoA derivative is increased when compared to production of the methylmalonyl-CoA derivative by the bacterium when cultured in a medium without the effective amount of methylmalonyl-CoA or a precursor thereof.
