THERMOPHILIC MICROORGANISMS OF THE GEOBACILLUS SPECIES WITH INACTIVATED LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE GENE (LDH) FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION

摘要

A mutated thermophilic microorganism is prepared, with a modification to inactivate the lactate dehydrogenase gene of a wild-type microorganism. The mutated microorganism is used in the production of ethanol, utilising C₃, C₅ or C₆ sugars as the substrate.
