A method for biologically producing acetin such as monoacetin, diacetin, or triacetin according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes reacting acetyl-CoA with glycerol in the presence of a first O-acetyl transferase to obtain the acetin. With the method, acetin which is sustainable and safe, and has more excellent quality while not causing environmental pollution may be obtained.

A method for producing isoprene includes culturing, which has isoprene productivity and in which a gene encoding a recA protein is attenuated or deleted, in a medium containing a carbon source. Therefore, a great amount of isoprene may be produced within a short period of time, and thereby considerably decreasing isoprene production unit costs.

Method for producing isoprene using transformed

A marker composition for selecting a living modified organism allows transformation and the production of a target product without antibiotics or antibiotic resistance genes. The marker composition for selecting a living modified organism may basically prevent problems caused by the use of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes and produce a target product at a high yield.

The present invention relates to a method for producing retinoid from a microorganism, and more specifically, to a method for effectively obtaining retinoid, which lacks stability, from a microorganism by cultivating the microorganism capable of producing retinoid in a medium containing a lipophilic substance, and separating retinoid from the lipophilic substance.

Method for producing retinoid from microorganism

The present invention relates to a modified yeast strain which is prepared by introducing a vector that expresses HMG-CoA reductase (hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase) and farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, and a method for producing squalene using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates toY2805 modified yeast strain that is transformed with a vector including the HMG1 gene, and ispA or Erg20 gene, and a method for producing squalene with high efficiency by culturing the modified yeast strain.
