Estimating the term…
The present invention generally relates to the biotechnology engineering, and specifically to genetically engineered microorganisms, e.g. of the genus Methylobacillus, which have improved properties making them particularly useful in large scale methanol fermentations. More specifically, the present invention provides a genetically engineered microorganism which is methylotrophic and can generate reducing power by methanol dissimilation, and which microorganism being modified to enable the synthesis of at least one DHAP-derived compound. The present invention further provides a method for producing a biochemical compound using a genetically modified bacterium of the present invention.
A genetically engineered microorganism, which is a Methylobacillus sp. and can generate reducing power by methanol dissimilation, wherein said microorganism has been modified to synthesize at least one DHAP-derived compound, which is dihydroxyacetone or has the Formula IV:
