Abstract
A method for producing heparosan is provided. Heparosan is produced by culturing an Escherichia bacterium having a heparosan-producing ability and modified so that expression of one or more genes, such as rbsR, rbsK, rbsB, hsrA, glgB, glgX, micF, rcsD, rcsB, ybiX, ybil, ybiJ, ybiC, ybiB, rfaH, nusG, pcoR, pcoS, pcoE, yhcN, yhcO, aaeB, aaeA, aaeX, g1455, alpA, g1453, yrbA, mlaB, mlaC, mlaD, mlaE, mlaF, yrbG, norW, ybjI, ybjJ, ybjK, rybB, yjjY, yjtD, thrL, thrA, thrB, fruA, psuK, ytfT, yjfF, fbp, yagU, paoA, paoB, gsiC, gsiD, yliE, irp2, irp1, bhsA, ycfS, lepB, rnc, era, dapA, gcvR, bcp, hyfA, rpoE, nadB, yfiC, srmB, g1414, g1413, nuoE, nuoF, nuoG, glmZ, hemY, hemX, hemD, rlmL, artQ, artM, artJ, rlmC, ybjO, yejO, yejM, yejL, rpoS, ygbN, ygbM, ygbL, g3798, g3797, g3796, g3795, g3794, g3793, g3792, ryjA, soxR, soxS, yjcC, yjcB, efeU, and efeO, is/are increased in a medium, and collecting heparosan from the medium.
