THERMOPHILIC MICRO-ORGANISMS MODIFED BY THE INSERTION OF A HETEROLOGOUS AMYLASE GENE AND FURTHER MODIFIED TO INACTIVATE THE NATIVE LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE GENE

摘要

Discloses a G. thermoglucosidasius thermophilic micro-organism comprising a modification that increases amylase expression and starch hydrolysis compared to wild-type, wherein the modification is insertion of a heterologous amylase gene and inactivation of the native lactate dehydrogenase gene.
