Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel bacterial strain designated DD1, which has the ability to produce organic acids, in particular succinic acid (SA), which was originally isolated from bovine rumen, and is capable of utilizing glycerol as a carbon source; and variant strains derived there from retaining said capability; as well as to methods of producing organic acids, in particular succinic acid by making use of said microorganism.
Claims16
A bacterial strain DD1 deposited in Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) with deposition number DSM 18541 which has the ability to produce succinic acid and a variant or a mutant strain derived therefrom that retains the ability to produce succinic acid, wherein the strain and the variant or the mutant strain comprise 16S rDNA of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a nucleotide sequence having at least 99.9% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
