ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOREACTOR MODULE AND ENGINEERED METABOLIC PATHWAYS FOR 1- BUTANOL PRODUCTION WITH HIGH CARBON EFFICIENCY

摘要

A combination of an electrochemical device for delivering reducing equivalents to a cell, and engineered metabolic pathways within the cell capable of utilizing the electrochemically provided reducing equivalents is disclosed. Such a combination allows the production of commodity chemicals by fermentation to proceed with increased carbon efficiency.
