Abstract
This invention relates to compositions, systems, and methods for producing biofuels, such as butanol, and related compounds. More specifically, provided are methods of making recombinant microorganizms having non-naturally occurring metabolic pathways for the production of biofuels, and methods of producing biofuels using such organizms. Also provided are metabolically engineered microorganizms capable of producing butanol from a substrate.
