    Abstract: The invention provides a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a microbial organism having at least one exogenous gene insertion and/or one or more gene disruptions that confer production of primary alcohols and at least one exogenous nucleic acid that encodes an enzyme that increases the yields of the primary alcohol by (i) enhancing carbon fixation via the reductive TCA cycle, and/or (ii) accessing additional reducing equivalents from gaseous carbon sources and/or syngas components such as CO, C02, and/or H2. A method for producing long chain alcohols includes culturing these non-naturally occurring microbial organisms.

    Abstract: The invention provides a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having an adipate, a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, or hexametheylenediamine pathway. The microbial organism contains at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding an enzyme in the respective adipate, 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine pathway and at least one exogenous nucleic acid that encodes an enzyme that increases the yields of adipate, 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine by (i) enhancing carbon fixation via the reductive TCA cycle, and/or (ii) accessing additional reducing equivalents from gaseous carbon sources and/or syngas components such as CO, C02, and/or H2. The invention additionally provides a method for producing adipate, 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine. The method can include culturing an adipate, 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine producing microbial organism described herein under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce adipate, 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine.

    Abstract: The invention provides a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a methacrylic acid, methacrylate ester, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate and/or 2-hydroxyisobutyrate pathway. The microbial organism contains at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding an enzyme in a methacrylic acid pathway. The invention additionally provides a method for producing methacrylic acid, methacrylate ester, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate and/or 2- hydroxyisobutyrate. The method can include culturing methacrylic acid, methacrylate ester, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate and/or 2-hydroxyisobutyrate producing microbial organism, where the microbial organism expresses at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding a methacrylic acid pathway enzyme in a sufficient amount to produce methacrylic acid, methacrylate ester, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate and/or 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce methacrylic acid, methacrylate ester, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate and/or 2-hydroxyisobutyrate.
