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.
本发明涉及一种转化体,该转化体被转化以表达Baeyer-Villiger单加氧酶(BVMO),以及通过使用该转化体进行生物转化从C16-C20长链脂肪酸中生产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,以及使用BVMO从酮脂肪酸中引入酯基的脂肪酸衍生物的制备方法和新的ω-羟基脂肪酸。通过使用本发明的能够表达BVMO的转化体进行生物转化,可以从介质中含有的C16到C20长链脂肪酸中大量生产C5到C14的ω-羟基脂肪酸、α,ω-二羧酸、ω-氨基脂肪酸、醇等降解产物。因此,它可以广泛用于更安全、更经济地生产ω-羟基脂肪酸、α,ω-二羧酸、ω-氨基脂肪酸或醇。
