BIOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF P-AMINOBENZOIC ACID, P-AMINOPHENOL, N-(4-HYDROXYPHENYL)ETHANAMIDE AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF

摘要

The invention generally relates to biological engineering of microorganisms and production of chemical compounds therefrom. More particularly, the invention relates to novel genetically engineered microorganisms for the fermentative production of p-aminobenzoic acid and related compounds from fermentable carbon substrates. The biologically derived PABA and related compounds from fermentable carbon substrates can be used in a number of applications including as a food supplement or raw materials for the syntheses of other industrial chemicals or polymers.
