Provided herein is a recombinant nucleic acid molecule, a recombinant microorganism, and a method for fermentative production of n-butylacrylate and other esters from alcohols and acyl-CoA units using alcohol acyl transferase enzymes.

Fermentative production of n-butylacrylate using alcohol acyl transferase enzymes

Described herein is a process of producing an organic compound, the process including: I) cultivating a genetically modified microorganism in a culture medium including sucrose as an assimilable carbon source to allow the genetically modified microorganism to produce the organic compound, and II) recovering the organic compound from the fermentation broth obtained in process step I) The genetically modified microorganism includes A) at least one genetic modification that leads to an increased activity of the enzyme encoded by the rbsK-gene, compared to the original microorganism that has not been genetically modified, and the original microorganism belongs to the family Pasteurellaceae. Also described herein are a genetically modified microorganism and the use thereof for the fermentative production of an organic compound from sucrose as an assimilable carbon source.

Process for producing an organic compound

The present invention relates to a process for producing an organic acid by fermentation, comprising the process steps: I) cultivating microorganisms in a culture medium to which are fed, as assimilable carbon sources, glycerol and a further carbonaceous compound, to allow the microorganisms to produce the organic acid, thereby obtaining a fermentation broth comprising the organic acid; II) recovering the organic acid or the salt thereof from the fermentation broth obtained in process step I); wherein, at least for a certain period of time in process step I), the consumption rate of the further carbonaceous compound (Cin g per liter per hour) is lower than the maximum theoretical consumption rate of the further carbonaceous compound (CRin g per liter per hour).
