Recombinant yeast capable of producing caffeic acid and / or ferulic acid.

摘要

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism, preferably a recombinant yeast, capable of producing caffeic acid comprising a heterologous gene encoding an enzyme of the hydrolase family capable of breaking, preferably hydrolyzing, the caffeoyl bond. -shikimate to produce caffeic acid from caféoyl-shikimate. Said microorganism, preferably said recombinant yeast, may also be capable of producing ferulic acid from the resulting caffeic acid. The present invention also relates to a method of producing caffeic acid and a method of producing caffeic acid and / or ferulic acid, using microorganisms, preferably yeasts, according to the invention. Finally, the invention also relates to the use of the microorganisms, preferably yeasts, according to the invention to produce caffeic acid and / or ferulic acid.
