The redox-sensing protein Rex modulates ethanol production in Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Zheng Tianyong, Lanahan Anthony A, Lynd Lee R, Olson Daniel G

Abstract excerpt

Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum is a thermophilic anaerobe that has been engineered to produce high amounts of ethanol, reaching ~90% theoretical yield at a titer of 70 g/L. Here we report the physiological changes that occur upon deleting the redox-sensing transcriptional regulator Rex in wild type T. saccharolyticum: a single deletion of rex resulted in a two-fold increase in ethanol yield (from 40% to...
