Bacteria having a polyester-producing ability in the vicinity of the intermediate temperature, the polyester synthase and a gene encoding the

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a bacterium having the ability to stably produce a polyester at about medium temperatures, to obtain a polyester polymerization enzyme gene isolated from the bacterium, to provide a gene expression system including the gene, to obtain a variant transformed or transduced by the system, to provide a method for producing the polyester polymerization enzyme stable at about medium temperatures and having wide substrate specificity by the use of the variant, and to provide a method for producing the polyester.;SOLUTION: The bacterium has the ability to produce a polyester at ≥40°C.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
