The present invention relates to a transformant which is transformed to express Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO), a method for producing C5-C14 medium-chain ω-hydroxy fatty acids, α,ω-dicarboxylic acids, ω-amino fatty acids, or alcohols from C16-C20 long-chain fatty acids by biotransformation using the transformant, a method for producing a fatty acid derivative having an ester group which is introduced into the chain thereof from keto fatty acid using the BVMO, and novel ω-hydroxy fatty acids which are prepared by the method. Degradation products such as C5 to C14 ω-hydroxy fatty acids, α,ω-dicarboxylic acids, ω-amino fatty acids, alcohols can be produced in a large amount from C16 to C20 long-chain fatty acids contained in a medium by biotransformation using a transformant capable of expressing BVMO of the present invention. Therefore, it can be widely used to produce ω-hydroxy fatty acids, α,ω-dicarboxylic acids, ω-amino fatty acids or alcohols in a more safe and economic manner.
本发明涉及一种经转化表达拜耳-维利格单加氧酶(BVMO)的转化体,一种利用转化体通过生物转化从C16-C20长链脂肪酸生产C5-C14中链ω-羟基脂肪酸、α,ω-二羧酸、ω-氨基脂肪酸或醇的方法,一种利用转化体从酮脂肪酸生产具有酯基的脂肪酸衍生物的方法、一种利用 BVMO 生产具有酯基的脂肪酸衍生物的方法,该酯基是利用 BVMO 从酮脂肪酸引入其链中的;以及一种利用该方法制备新型ω-羟基脂肪酸的方法。利用能表达本发明 BVMO 的转化体进行生物转化,可从培养基中所含的 C16 至 C20 长链脂肪酸中产生大量降解产物,如 C5 至 C14 ω-羟基脂肪酸、α,ω-二羧酸、ω-氨基脂肪酸、醇类。因此,它可广泛用于以更安全、更经济的方式生产ω-羟基脂肪酸、α,ω-二羧酸、ω-氨基脂肪酸或醇。
