The present invention provides a composition containing linalool, wherein the composition contains a high amount of either enantiomer R-linalool or S-linalool, and has a high content rate of linalool. The present invention also provides a production method for producing the composition. The present invention further provides a composition containing volatile components including linalool, in which a content of linalool in a total content of the volatile components in the composition is 60% or more, and the linalool is present as R-linalool or S-linalool in an amount of 50% or more of the enantiomer, and a production method therefor.

Linalool composition and method of producing therefor

The present invention describes an efficient method for producing linalool. The present invention provides a method for producing linalool, the method including culturing a microorganism expressing linalool synthase in a culture medium to produce linalool. The present invention also describes a microorganism able to express linalool synthase and efficiently produce linalool.

Method of producing linalool using a microorganism

A host cell includes a heterogeneous expression unit including: (a) a polynucleotide encoding a mevalonate kinase derived from a microorganism belonging to a genus selected fromandand (b) a promoter operatively linked to the polynucleotide. The host cell is used to produce mevalonate kinase, mevalonate-5-phosphate, and isoprenoid compounds.

Method of producing isoprene monomer

Methods include contacting a fermented gas including isoprene with a porous adsorbent and desorbing isoprene adsorbed on the porous adsorbent. The fermented gas may be obtained by culturing a microorganism having an ability to produce isoprene.

Method for collecting isoprene contained in fermented gas, and method for producing purified isoprene

Methods include contacting a fermented gas including isoprenoid compound with a porous adsorbent and desorbing isoprenoid compound adsorbed on the porous adsorbent. The fermented gas may be obtained by culturing a microorganism having an ability to produce isoprenoid compound.

Method for collecting isoprenoid compound contained in fermented gas, and method for producing purified isoprenoid compound

The present invention provides means useful for establishing an excellent isoprene monomer production system. Specifically, the present invention provides a polynucleotide of the following (a), (b), or (c):

Isoprene synthase and gene encoding the same, and method for producing isoprene monomer
