TRANSFORMED SYNECHOCOCCUS ELONGATUS STRAIN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ACETONE FROM CARBON DIOXIDE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING ACETONE USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a transformed Synechococcus elongatus strain capable of mass-producing acetone from carbon dioxide through a by-pass route, and a method of producing acetone using the same. The transformed Synechococcus elongatus strain of the present invention is economical by using light and carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere as a carbon source; is eco-friendly being used to remove or reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere using microorganisms; and can be a basic model for increasing acetone production for industrialization. A method of producing an acetone-producing strain using the by-pass of the present invention can be applied to other strains, and acetone is also useful in a method for producing isopropanol materials as a precursor of isopropanol. The Synechococcus elongatus strain comprises a pyruvate decarboxylase enzyme (pdc) gene and aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme (ald6) gene.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2019
