Strategies toward increased production

7942

Isobutyraldehyde [8]

1.10

Overexpression of rbcLS genes; Supplement of 50 mM NaHCO3

6803

d-Lactate [14]

1.06

Introducing a more efficient enzyme DldhL with a super-strong promoter; blocking poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and acetate pathways from acetyl-CoA node

6803

d-Lactate [15]

1.14

Introducing a more efficient enzyme GlyDH; expression of a soluble transhydrogenase

7942

2,3-Butanediol [9]

2.38

Selection of key enzyme sADH with higher efficiency; using NADPH-dependent sADH; supplement of 50 mM NaHCO3

7942

Sucrose [15]

3.50

Expressing a symporter of protons and sucrose; minimizing glucose or sucrose consuming reactions

6803

Ethanol [4]

5.50

Selection of key enzymes with higher activity; blocking poly-3-hydroxybutyrate synthetic pathway
