RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM HAVING XENOGENEIC GENE INTRODUCED THERETO AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING USEFUL MATERIAL FROM FORMIC ACID AND CARBON DIOXIDE USING SAME MICROORGANISM

Abstract

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having a xenogeneic gene introduced thereto and a method for producing a useful material from formic acid and carbon dioxide using the microorganism. The present invention provides a novel microorganism having a cyclic metabolic pathway introduced thereto through which C3 or higher carbon organic compounds can be synthesized from formicacid and carbon dioxide, whereby carbon dioxide rich in nature and formic acid that is of low toxicity and suitable for anabolic reaction in view of reaction kinetics and which can be easily and rapidly synthesized from carbon dioxide can be used to effectively synthesize the C3 organic compound pyruvic acid from which various high-value added compound can be synthesized.
