Abstract excerpt
The microbial production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) by Klebsiella pneumoniae involves the formation of various by-products, which are synthesized through the oxidative pathway. To eliminate the by-products synthesis, the oxidative branch of glycerol metabolism was inactivated by constructing two mutant strains. In one of the mutant strains, the structural genes encoding glycerol dehydrogenase and...
