| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The wax (ester) synthesis gene of strain A was identified. However, fatty acid ethyl esters were produced simply by culturing E. coli in the presence of ethanol. It was revealed that aliphatic compounds were more pronouncedly produced by strain A at 28 degrees than at 20 degrees. The analysis will be continued. We succeeded in obtaining several bacterial strains that produce high amounts of 1-tetradecanol and three bacterial strains that primarily produce C10 fatty acids, which have not been reported so far. We also succeeded in obtaining bacteria that primarily produce methylated fatty acids (2 strains) or cyclopropane fatty acids (2 strains).
We have discovered an unprecedented bacterium that produces γ-decalactone. We also discovered bacteria that produce DHA, farnesylacetone, and succinic acid.
