Abstract

A recombinant micro-organism producing resveratrol by a pathway in which phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) produces trans-cinnamic acid from phenylalanine, cinnamate 4- hydroxylase (C4H) produces 4-coumaric acid from said trans- cinnamic acid, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) produces 4- coumaroyl CoA from said 4-coumaric acid, and resveratrol synthase (VST) produces said resveratrol from said 4- coumaroyl CoA, or in which L-phenylalanine- or tyrosine- ammonia lyase (PAL/TAL) produces 4-coumaric acid, 4- coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) produces 4-coumaroyl CoA from said 4-coumaric acid, and resveratrol synthase (VST) produces said resveratrol from said 4-coumaroyl CoA. The micro-organism may be a yeast, fungus or bacterium including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, E. coli, Lactococcus lactis, Aspergillus niger, or Aspergillus oryzae.
