Engineering - Thermoanaerobacter Species

Metabolic engineering in Thermoanaerobacter species has been almost exclusively focused on elucidating the function of ADHs and enhancing ethanol production and tolerance (Table 14.3). The majority of metabolically engineered 

Only one example of metabolic engineering in T. ethanolicus JW200 is available in which odhE was homologously expressed using the putative natural promoter and terminator [169]. This improvedthe ethanol production ofthe strain (9.4 mM) compared to the wild type (6.7 mM).
