Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Biorefinery is represented by the production of useful substances using microorganisms. It is a green innovation with many advantages, and the demand from society is very strong. However, even if biomass raw materials are used, it is completely meaningless if CO2 is re-emitted in the process of manufacturing by microorganisms. Therefore, in this study, we developed a substance production process using microorganisms that do not emit CO2 at all, using CO2 bypass recycling. An improvement in the production amount and yield of mevaloate as one of the target compounds was achieved.
