Abstract
The invention relates to a genetically modified microorganism for making a recombinant oligosaccharide, preferably of 3-8 monosaccharide units, more preferably of 3-5 monosaccharide units, particularly a HMO, which comprises one or more genes encoding a sucrose utilization system, so the microorganism can use sucrose as a carbon and energy source. The one or more genes encoding a sucrose utilization system are preferably one or more genes encoding a heterologous PTS-dependent sucrose utilization transport system, such as the scr genes.
