A RECOMBINANT CARBOXYDOTROPHIC ACETOGENIC MICROORGANISM AND USES THEREOF IN MICROBIAL FERMENTATION

摘要

The invention relates to methods for the production of chemical compounds, particularly but not exclusively ethanol, by microbial fermentation. Also described are genetically modified micro-organisms capable of using carbon monoxide to produce one or more products, particularly but not exclusively ethanol as a main product, and producing a reduced amount or substantially no 2,3-butanediol and/or a precursor thereof.
