Microorganism of Enterobacteriacae Genus Haboring Genes Associated With L-Carnitine Biosynthesis and Method of Producing L-Carnitine Using the Microorganism

摘要

Provided is a microorganism belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae including: a polynucleotide encoding N-trimethyllysine hydroxylase activity derived from Neurospora crassa; a polynucelotide encoding 3-hydroxy-6-N-trimethyllysine aldolase activity derived from Neurospora crassa; a polynucleotide encoding γ-trimethylaminoaldehyde dehydrogenase activity derived from Neurospora crassa; and a polynucleotide encoding γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase activity derived from Neurospora crassa. Provided is also a process for producing L-carnitine using the microorganism.
