More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a process of producing methacrylic acid and/or derivatives thereof comprising the following steps: (a) biologically converting isobutyryl-CoA into methacrylyl-CoA by the action of an oxidase; and (b) converting methacrylyl-CoA into methacryl ic acid and/or derivatives thereof. The invention also extends to microorganisms adapted to conduct the steps of the process. (Fig. 11)
