Summary:ISOPRENE SYNTHASE VARIANTS FOR IMPROVED MICROBIAL PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENEThe present invention provides methods and compositions comprising at least one isoprene synthase enzyme with improved catalytic activity and/or solubility. In particular, the present invention provides variant plant isoprene synthases for increased isoprene production in microbial host cells. Biosynthetically produced isoprene of the present invention finds use in the manufacture of rubber and elastomers.Figure 92.
