RECOMBINANT RALSTONIA EUTROPHA CAPABLE OF PRODUCING POLYLACTIC ACID OR POLYLATIC ACID COPOLYMER, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYLACTIC ACID OR POLYLATIC ACID COPOLYMER USING SAME

摘要

The present invention provides recombinant Ralstonia eutropha capable of producing a polylactate or hydroxyalkanoate-lactate copolymer, and a method for producing a polylactate or hydroxyalkanoate-lactate copolymer using same. The recombinant Ralstonia eutropha of the present invention, into which the gene of the enzyme for transforming lactate into lactyl-CoA and the gene of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase using lactyl-CoA as a substrate are introduced, can be cultured to efficiently produce a lactate polymer and a lactate copolymer.
