Abstract
Sedoheptulose, which is a saccharide falling within the categories of ketoses and heptuloses, is one of a small number of heptuloses occurring in nature. A method for producing sedoheptulose may use a bacterium, and/or may improve the productivity of sedoheptulose by the bacterium, and the bacterium. To solve this problem, provided are a method for producing sedoheptulose using a bacterium owing to the deletion or attenuation of a specific enzymatic function, a method for improving the productivity of sedoheptulose by the bacterium, and the bacterium.
Claims15
A method for producing sedoheptulose, the method comprising:
- culturing a bacterium in which a function of transaldolase is deleted or attenuated.
A bacterium, in which a function of transaldolase and a function of propionyl CoA carboxylase or a function of trehalose synthase are deleted or attenuated.
