MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENT ALANINE PRODUCTION

摘要

The subject application provides genetically engineered microorganisms that produce L-alanine as the primary fermentation product from sugars. Pentose sugars, such as xylose, and hexose sugars, such as glucose, can be effectively fermented to L-alanine. The strains described herein have the ability to metabolize all sugars that are constituents of lignocellulosic biomass and a variety of disaccharides, including lactose, maltose, sucrose and others.
