This METHOD FOR PRODUCING causes an increase in the cost of the fermentation process 3 - HYDROXYPROPIONIC ACID USING THE depending on an injected base , makes an extraction and SAME 5 separation process difficult , or significantly increases the cost . CROSS - REFERENCE TO RELATED In a recent case of application of producing organic acid to chemical industry , an organic acid is produced from APPLICATIONS glucose using yeast. Yeast has high resistance against an This application is the United States national phase of 10 organic acid as compared to bacteria , thus the activity of the International Application No. PCT/ KR2015 /009061 filed yeast is not significantly inhibited even at a high acidity (low Aug. 28 , 2015 , and claims priority to Korean Patent Appli pH ) making yeast as more suitable host for producing the cation No. 10-2014-0114505 filed Aug. 29 , 2014 , the dis organic acid .
