Abstract
Provided are genetically engineered microorganism that catalyze the synthesis of propane and/or butanol from a suitable substrate such as glucose. Also provided are methods of engineering said genetically engineered microorganism and methods of producing propane and/or butanol using the genetically engineered microorganism.
Claims20
A genetically engineered bacterium, which expresses both an enzyme for butyraldehyde synthesis and a heterologous polypeptide having aldehyde deformylating oxygenase activity and produces propane from butyraldehyde as a precursor independent of fatty acid synthesis pathways.
