NOVEL STRAIN PRODUCING C5-C8 ORGANIC ACID, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING C5-C8 ORGANIC ACID BY USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel strain producing C5-C8 organic acid; and to a method for producing C5-C8 organic acid by using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a strain of Megasphaera hexanoica (KFCC11466P) which can selectively produce C5-C8 organic acid when cultivated in a culture medium containing fructose; and to a method for producing C5-C8 organic acid by using the same. According to the present invention, in the case of cultivating the strain in a culture medium containing fructose, the strain can produce C5-C8 organic acid. Especially, in the case of externally adding C2-C6 organic acid to the culture medium while cultivating the strain, the C2-C6 organic acid can be selectively converted into C5-C8 organic acid. Furthermore, the produced C5-C8 organic acid can be used to produce biofuel.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
