Estimating the term…
The present invention provides for novel metabolic pathways to convert biomass and other carbohydrate sources to malonyl-CoA derived products, such as hydrocarbons and other bioproducts, under anaerobic conditions and with the net production of ATP. More specifically, the invention provides for a recombinant microorganism comprising one or more native and/or heterologous enzymes that function in one or more engineered metabolic pathways to achieve conversion of a carbohydrate source to, e.g., long-chain hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives, wherein the one or more native and/or heterologous enzymes is activated, upregulated, downregulated, or deleted. The invention also provides for processes to convert biomass to malonyl-CoA derived products which comprise contacting a carbohydrate source with a recombinant microorganism of the invention.
A recombinant yeast microorganism comprising one or more engineered metabolic pathways to convert a carbohydrate source to ethanol and a malonyl-CoA derived product, wherein the one or more engineered metabolic pathways comprises (a) the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate by a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and (b) the conversion of oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA and pyruvate by a heterologous transcarboxylase Enzyme Commission Number 2.1.3.1;
