Screening and development of reductive fatty acid- and organic acid-transforming activities in microorganisms

还原化学反应可用于生物质利用和生物质转化为石油化学化合物。对微生物中脂肪酸和有机酸的还原代谢进行了筛选，并对参与代谢的反应、酶和基因进行了分析。此外，该反应还应用于功能性脂质（共轭脂肪酸、羟基脂肪酸和部分饱和脂肪酸）的生产和脂肪醇的生产。

Reductive chemical reactions are useful for biomass utilization and biomass transformation to petro-chemical compounds. Reductive metabolisms of fatty acids and organic acids were screened in microorganisms and the reactions, enzymes, and genes involved in the metabolisms were analyzed. Furthermore, the reactions were applied to functional lipid (conjugated fatty acids, hydroxyl fatty acids, and partially saturated fatty acids) production and fatty alcohol production.
