Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis expression of pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase in Clostridium thermocellum DSM 1313. Though both enzymes are functional in Clostridium thermocellum, the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase severely limits the growth of the recombinant strains, irrespective of the presence or absence of the pyruvate decarboxylase gene. The recombinant strain expressing pyruvate decarboxylase shows two-fold increase in pyruvate carboxylase activity and ethanol production when compared with the wild type strain Zymomonas mobilis
