Abstract
The present application discloses a microorganism engineered to express one or more enzymes which enhances the microorganism's ability to produce C2-4 alkene, and/or ethylene from C2-4 alkanol or thiol, optionally ethanol. The process of producing C2-4 alkanol and/or ethylene by the engineered microorganism is also discussed.
Claims38
A microorganism engineered to express one or more enzymes which enhances the microorganism's ability to produce C2-4 alkene, optionally ethylene from C2-4 alkanol or thiol, optionally ethanol.
A process for producing C2-4 alkene, optionally ethylene, comprising the step of:
- i) contacting C2-4 alkanol or thiol, optionally ethanol, with an enzyme capable of catalysing the conversion of C2-4 alkanol or thiol, optionally ethanol to C2-4 alkene, optionally ethylene, wherein the enzyme is expressed by a microorganism, and
- ii) obtaining C2-4 alkene, optionally ethylene.
