Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods for the fermentative production of four carbon alcohols is provided. Specifically, butanol, preferably isobutanol is produced by the fermentative growth of a recombinant bacterium expressing an isobutanol biosynthetic pathway.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: (a) determining the acetolactate synthase (ALS) activity of a cell free extract prepared from a host cell expressing a heterologous ALS enzyme; and (b) expressing a heterologous DNA molecule encoding the ALS enzyme in a recombinant microorganism expressing an engineered isobutanol biosynthetic pathway, wherein the cell free extract comprises higher ALS activity than a control cell free extract prepared from a host cell not expressing…
