METABOLICALLY ENGINEERED MICROORGANISM USEFUL FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 1,2-PROPANEDIOL

摘要

Microorganism useful for the production of 1,2-propanediol froma carbon source, wherein said microorganism is characterized by : - an improved activity of the biosynthesis pathway from dihydroxyacetone phosphate to 1,2-propanediol,and - an attenuated activity of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase The invention is also related to a method for producing 1,2-propanediolby fermentation witha microorganism according to the invention.
