Abstract:
Provided herein is a non-naturally occurring microbial organism (NNOMO) having a methanol metabolic pathway (MMP) that can enhance the availability of reducing equivalents in the presence of methanol. Such reducing equivalents can be used to increase the product yield of organic compounds produced by the microbial organism, such as 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO), n- propanol (n-PrOH), 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) or glycerol. Also provided herein are methods for using such an organism to produce 1,2-PDO, n-PrOH, 1,3-PDO or glycerol.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a non-naturally occurring microbial organism (NNOMO) having a methanol metabolic pathway (MMP) that can enhance the availability of reducing equivalents in the presence of methanol. Such reducing equivalents can be used to increase the product yield of organic compounds produced by the microbial organism, such as 3-hydroxyisobutyrate (3-HIB) or methacrylic acid (MAA). Also provided herein are methods for using such an organism to produce 3-HIB or MAA.
