A method for producing 1,3-propanediol by fermentation of a recombinant microorganism

Abstract

Provided is a method for producing 1,3-propanediol by means of fermentation of a recombinant microorganism. First, a recombinant microorganism is provided; the recombinant microorganism can overexpress acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes: accBC and accDA, a malonyl-CoA synthetase gene, mcr, a 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthetase gene: pcs, a 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA reductase gene: pduP, and a 1,3-propanediol reductase gene: yqhD. The recombinant microorganism is subjected to fermentation culture in a flask or ferment or using glucose ad as raw material to obtain the 1,3-propanediol. The recombinant microorganism can utilize low-cost glucose, sucrose, malasses, xylose and the like as raw material in the fermentation process, without additional expensive vitamin B12. Thus, cost of the production is significantly reduced, and there is a promising prospect in market.
