METABOLIC ENGINEERING OF CLOSTRIDIUM TYROBUTYRICUM FOR BUTANOL PRODUCTION

摘要

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 microorganisms having non-naturally occurring metabolic pathways for the production of biofuels, and methods of producing biofuels using such organisms. Also provided are metabolically engineered microorganisms capable of producing butanol from a substrate.
