Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a mutant microorganism with high putrescine production capacity and a method for using the microorganism to produce putrescine, in particular to a mutant microorganism with high putrescine production capacity, wherein the genes involved in the putrescine degradation or utilization pathway are inactivated or removal, and a method for cultivating the mutant microorganism to produce putrescine in high yield under anaerobic conditions. Background technique
[0002] Putrescine (or 1,4-butylene diamine), is an important raw material for the production of polyamine-4,6 including nylon-4,6, acrylonitrile produced mainly by adding hydrocyanic acid to acrylonitrile produced on an industrial scale by hydrogenation. The known chemical synthesis processes of this compound require non-renewable petrochemical products as raw materials, and rather severe reaction conditions of temperature and pressure in multiple steps and multiple re...
