SPORULATION-DEFICIENT THERMOPHILIC MICROORGANISMS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL

Provided is a thermophilic microorganism comprising a modification that decreases sporulation compared with wild-type, wherein the modification inactivates the native spoOA gene. The microbe can be Geobacillus sp. The microbe can be further modified to increase its ethanol production by inactivation...

More Information
Summary:Provided is a thermophilic microorganism comprising a modification that decreases sporulation compared with wild-type, wherein the modification inactivates the native spoOA gene. The microbe can be Geobacillus sp. The microbe can be further modified to increase its ethanol production by inactivation of lactate dehydrogenase gene.
