MICROORGANISMS AND METHODS FOR THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF P-TOLUATE AND TEREPHTHALATE

摘要

The invention provides non-naturally occurring microbial organisms having a (2-hydroxy- 3-methyl-4-oxobutoxy)phosphonate pathway, p- toluate pathway, and/or terephthalate pathway. The invention additionally provides methods of using such organisms to produce (2-hydroxy-3- methyl-4-oxobutoxy)phosphonate pathway, p- toluate pathway or terephthalate pathway.
