Microorganism for production of chemicals derived from acetyl-CoA

An acetyl-CoA-producing microorganism of the genus Pantoea in which malate thiokinase and malyl-CoA lyase enzymatic activities are imparted to the microorganism by a gene recombination technology comprising introducing genes encoding said malate thiokinase and malyl-CoA lyase into said microorganism, and wherein said microorganism has none of the following cycles of (a), (b), (c), and (d) and without imparting any of (a), (b), (c), and (d):

• (a) a carbon dioxide fixation cycle having an enzymatic reaction from malonyl-CoA to malonate semialdehyde or 3-hydroxypropionate;
• (b) a carbon dioxide fixation cycle having an enzymatic reaction from acetyl-CoA and CO2 to pyruvate;
• (c) a carbon dioxide fixation cycle having an enzymatic reaction from crotonyl-CoA and CO2 to ethylmalonyl-CoA or glutaconyl-CoA;
• and
• (d) a carbon dioxide fixation cycle having an enzymatic reaction from CO2 to formate.
