ENGINEERED CO2 FIXING MICROORGANISMS PRODUCING CARBON-BASED PRODUCTS OF INTEREST

摘要

The present disclosure identifies pathways and mechanisms to confer production of carbon-based products of interest such as ethanol, ethylene, chemicals, polymers, n-alkanes, isoprenoids, pharmaceutical products or intermediates thereof in photoautotrophic organisms such that these organisms efficiently convert carbon dioxide and light into carbon-based products of interest, and in particular the use of such organisms for the commercial production of ethanol, ethylene, chemicals, polymers, n-alkanes, isoprenoids, pharmaceutical products or intermediates thereof.

主权项

1. A method for producing ethanol, comprising:
culturing an engineered photosynthetic microbe, wherein the photosynthetic microbe comprises a heterologous pyruvate decarboxylase, a heterologous NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, and a heterologous catalase.
