Fermentive production of four carbon alcohols

Methods for the fermentive production of four carbon alcohols are provided. Specifically, butanol, prefearbly 2-butanol is produced by the fermentive growth of a recombinant bacteria expressing a 2-butanol biosynthetic pathway. The recombinant microorganisms and methods of the invention can also be...

More Information
Summary:Methods for the fermentive production of four carbon alcohols are provided. Specifically, butanol, prefearbly 2-butanol is produced by the fermentive growth of a recombinant bacteria expressing a 2-butanol biosynthetic pathway. The recombinant microorganisms and methods of the invention can also be adapted to produce 2-butanone, an intermediate in the 2-butanol biosynthetic pathways disclosed herein.
