Abstract
An isolated microorganism that expresses enzymes of the reductive glycine pathway is disclosed. The microorganism is capable of converting formate to pyruvate or glycerate via the formation of glycine and serine. Methods of generating same are further described.
Claims7
An isolated bacteria that is genetically modified to express enzymes of the reductive glycine pathway, said bacteria being able to utilize formate as its sole carbon source, wherein the bacteria is capable of converting formate to glycine and serine and further being able of converting said glycine and said serine to pyruvate or glycerate.
