Thermophilic microorganisms with inactivated lactate dehydrogenase gene (IDH) for ethanol production

摘要

A mutated thermophilic microorganism is prepared, with a modification to inactivate the lactate dehydrogenase gene of a wild-type microorganism. The mutated microorganism is used in the production of ethanol, utilising C3, C5 or C6 sugars as the substrate.
