abstract |
The present invention relates to a method for producing a medium chain diamine and, more specifically, to a method for producing a medium chain diamine from an alcohol or alkane derived from a fatty acid, by culturing a recombinant microorganism from which a fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase gene in a ω-oxidative metabolic pathway and a β-oxidative metabolic pathway related gene have been deleted, and also into which a ω-transaminase gene has been introduced. The recombinant microorganism disclosed in the present invention can prevent the additional oxidation and β-oxidation metabolism of fatty aldehyde and can produce a medium chain diamine with a high yield by introducing an amine group to the terminus thereof. |
