PRODUCTION OF MEVALONATE ISOPRENE AND ISOPRENOIDS USING GENES ENCODING POLYPEPTIDES HAVING THIOLASE HMG COA SYNTHASE AND HMG COA REDUCTASE ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES

摘要

The invention features compositions and methods for the increased production of mevalonate, isoprene, isoprenoid precursor molecules, and/or isoprenoids in microorganisms via the heterologous expression of the mvaE and mvaS genes from the organisms Listeria grayi DSM 20601, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus gallinarum EG2, and Enterococcus casseliflavus.
