The present invention provides a process for producing yeast excellent in cell productivity and gene manipulation of which is easy, being added with nutritional requirement by disrupting only a specific gene, and a transformant thereof. Moreover, the present invention also provides a process for producing a gene expression product, particularly a polyhydroxyalkanoic acid.
In the present invention, yeast in which a plurality of genes is disrupted is produced using the homologous recombination. Moreover, a transformant is obtained by introducing a plurality of enzyme genes involved with polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthesis such as a polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthase gene and an acetoacetyl CoA reductase gene into said gene-disrupted yeast. Furthermore, said transformant is cultured, copolyesters comprising a polyhydroxyalkanoic acid are efficiently accumulated within the cells, and a polymer is harvested from the cultured product.
本发明提供了一种生产酵母的工艺,这种酵母细胞生产率高,基因操作简单,只需破坏一个特定的基因,就能增加营养需求,本发明还提供了一种其转化体。此外,本发明还提供了一种生产基因表达产物,特别是多羟基烷酸的工艺。
在本发明中,使用同源重组法生产出多个基因被破坏的酵母。此外,通过将参与多羟基烷酸合成的多个酶基因(如多羟基烷酸合成酶基因和乙酰乙酰辅酶还原酶基因)导入所述基因被破坏的酵母中,可获得转化体。此外,培养所述转化体,在细胞内有效积累包含聚羟基烷酸的共聚多酯,并从培养产物中收获聚合物。
