MICROORGANISMS AND METHODS FOR THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF BUTADIENE

摘要

The invention provides non-naturally occurring microbial organisms having a butadiene pathway. The invention additionally provides methods of using such organisms to produce butadiene. In some aspects, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a process for the production of butadiene that includes (a) culturing by fermentation in a sufficient amount of nutrients and media a non-naturally occurring microbial organism that produces crotyl alcohol; and (b) converting crotyl alcohol, produced by culturing the non-naturally occurring microbial organism, to butadiene.
