摘要:
Described are genetically engineered C1 -utilizing bacteria for the preparation of dicarboxylic acids, e.g. succinic acid. For instance, the bacteria comprise a mutation in a gene encoding a tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh), preferably a mutation which inactivates or reduces Sdh's activity. Processes for the production of the modified bacteria as well as their use in the preparation of succinic acid on a C1 -compound as carbon source are also discussed.
