Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides for production of succinic acid from organic waste or biogas or methane using recombinant methanotrophic bacterium. In one embodiment, the recombinant methanotrophic bacterium includes exogenous nucleic acid(s) or gene(s) encoding for specified enzymes. In a further embodiment, succinic acid producing capacity of the recombinant methanotrophic bacterium is increased above the basal level by overexpression or/and downregulation of selected gene(s). In another embodiment, a process of producing succinic acid using the recombinant methanotrophic bacterium is disclosed. The present invention successfully solves the problems in converting organic waste to a useful chemical thereby providing an environment-friendly and commercially viable solution for waste management.
