Abstract excerpt
γ-Butyrolactone (GBL) is an important four carbon (C4) chemical, which has a wide range of industrial applications. GBL can be produced by acid treatment of 4-hydroxybutyric acid (4-HB), which is a derivative of succinic acid. Heterologous metabolic pathways were designed and established in succinic acid overproducing Mannheimia succiniciproducens LPK7 (ldhA pflD pta ackA mutant) by the introduction of...
