FERMENTIVE PRODUCTION OF ISOBUTANOL USING HIGHLY EFFECTIVE KETOL-ACID REDUCTOISOMERASE ENZYMES

摘要

Ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzymes have been identified that provide high effectiveness in vivo as a step in an isobutanol biosynthetic pathway in bacteria and in yeast. These KARIs are members of a clade identified through molecular phylogenetic analysis called the SLSL Clade.
