MICROORGANISMS FOR PRODUCING 1,3-BUTANEDIOL AND METHODS RELATED THERETO

摘要

Provided herein is a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a 1,3-butanediol (1,3 -BDO) pathway and comprising at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding a 1,3 -BDO pathway enzyme expressed in a sufficient amount to produce 1,3 -BDO. In some embodiments, the pathway includes reducing equivalents from CO or hydrogen. In certain embodiments, a 1,3-BDO pathway proceeds by way of central metabolites pyruvate, succinate or alpha-ketoglutarate. Also provided herein is a method for producing 1,3-BDO, includes culturing such microbial organisms under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce 1,3-BDO.
