Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing medium chain diol and, more particularly to recombinant microorganisms in which fatty alcohol dehydrogenase and/or fatty alcohol oxidase genes on a ω-oxidative metabolism pathway are deleted, the fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase genes are optionally deleted, and β-oxidative metabolism pathway-related genes are deleted, and to a method for producing medium chain diol from fatty acid-derived alcohol or alkane by culturing the recombinant microorganisms. The recombinant microorganisms of the present invention can produce a high yield of medium chain diol by preventing further oxidation and β-oxidative metabolism of fatty alcohols.
