Abstract:
1. A method for producing a polylactate, which comprises the steps of: (1) culturing a recombinant microorganism having a protein capable of catalyzing a reaction of transferring CoA to propionic acid and/or lactate consisting of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 or 6 and a protein capable of catalyzing a reaction of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis consisting of an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 by substitution of at least one of the amino acids at positions 130, 325, 477, and 481 with different amino acid(s); and (2) collecting the polylactate from the culture product obtained in step (1).
