| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acrylic acid is one of the short-chain unsaturated fatty acids, and widely used as a basic compound of flexibility polymers such as paints, adhesives and functional materials. Although research on the microbial conversion of compounds carrying C=C bond has been advanced, there are few reports about conversion of acrylic acid. In this study, microorganisms showing acrylic acid conversion activity were isolated, and the reaction mechanisms and enzymatic functions were examined.
