Abstract
The present invention relates to a microorganism having an acetyl CoA biosynthesis pathway and a butyryl CoA biosynthesis pathway; the microorganism being a recombinant microorganism having an increased ability to produce butanol, wherein a pathway for converting acetyl CoA into acetate is suppressed, and a pathway for converting acetate into acetyl CoA and a pathway for converting butyryl CoA into butanol are promoted. Also, the present invention concerns a method for producing butanol by using the recombinant microorganism.
