Abstract
Disclosed is a process for production of succinic acid, which comprises the step of reacting a bacterium which has been modified so as to increase the expression of a sucE1 gene or a product produced by any treatment of the bacterium with an organic raw material in a reaction solution containing a carbonate ion, a bicarbonate ion or carbon dioxide gas to thereby yield the desired succinic acid.
Claims7
A method for producing succinic acid, comprising:
- allowing a bacterium which is modified so that expression of a sucE1 gene is enhanced or treated cells thereof to act on an organic raw material in a reaction solution containing carbonate ion, bicarbonate ion, or carbon dioxide, to produce succinic acid;
- and collecting the succinic acid.
