1,3‐Propanediol (1,3‐PDO), an important chemical raw material, has attracted much attention due to its wide use as a monomer of biodegradable polyester materials. Production of 1,3‐PDO from renewable resources, through microbial fermentation, has the advantage of requiring only mild conditions. The...
