Ethanolamine production by fermentation

Published online: Mar 30, 2009

Geographical region Europe
Subject Ethanolamine production
Published date Feb 25, 2009
Title Ethanolamine production by fermentation
Patent Application Number EP2027278 A1
Assignee Metabolic Explorer, France
Relevance A biological method of production of ethanolamine from a fermentable carbon source using a recombinant bacterium.
Type of claims Publication
Overview This patent discloses a method of production of ethanolamine from an inexpensive carbon substrate such as glucose or other sugars using aerobic recombinant organism (Enterobacteriaceae, Bacillaceae, etc). The recombinant organism expresses genes that encodes functional serine decarboxylase, ethanolamine degrading enzymes, with an increased availability of the intermediate product 3-phosphoglycerate, an increased flux in the serine biosynthesis pathway and serine consuming enzymes such as serine deaminases, serine transacetylase, tryptophan synthase or serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The method comprises, A) culturing a bacterium in an appropriate culture medium comprising a source of carbon and B) recovering the produced ethanolamine from the culture medium.
