Abstract
Provided are a microorganism capable of producing a polylactate (PLA) or PLA copolymer from sucrose and a method of producing the PLA or PLA copolymer from sucrose using the same. A gene of an enzyme converting lactate into lactyl-CoA and a gene of a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase using lactyl-CoA as a substrate are introduced into a microorganism capable of using sucrose as a substrate, and the microorganism is cultured using sucrose as the substrate, thereby allowing efficient production of a PLA or PLA copolymer.
