Process for butanol production

This invention comprises a process for the bioconversion of a fermentable carbon source to n-butanol by a microorganism, wherein the microorganism is deficient in at least one gene or protein involved in the four-carbon compounds pathway regulation to improve the four-carbon compounds pathway, parti...

More Information
Summary:This invention comprises a process for the bioconversion of a fermentable carbon source to n-butanol by a microorganism, wherein the microorganism is deficient in at least one gene or protein involved in the four-carbon compounds pathway regulation to improve the four-carbon compounds pathway, particularly by inactivation of the transcriptional repressor rex.
