The invention provides a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid pathway. The microbial organism contains at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding an enzyme in the respective 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid pathway. The invention additionally provides a method for producing 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid. The method can include culturing a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine producing microbial organism, where the microbial organism expresses at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid pathway enzyme in a sufficient amount to produce the respective product, under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid.
该发明提供了一种非自然存在的微生物生物体,具有6-氨基己酸、己内酰胺、己二胺或左旋柳糖酸途径。该微生物生物体至少包含一个外源核酸,编码相应的6-氨基己酸、己内酰胺、己二胺或左旋柳糖酸途径中的一种酶。该发明还提供了一种生产6-氨基己酸、己内酰胺、己二胺或左旋柳糖酸的方法。该方法可以包括培养产生6-氨基己酸、己内酰胺或己二胺的微生物生物体,其中该微生物生物体在足够数量下表达至少一个外源核酸,编码6-氨基己酸、己内酰胺、己二胺或左旋柳糖酸途径酶,以在适当的条件和足够时间下产生6-氨基己酸、己内酰胺、己二胺或左旋柳糖酸。
