Abstract excerpt
Microbial production of glycolic acid (GA) from ethylene glycol is extensively used in a variety of industries because ethylene glycol is not only an inexpensive raw material but also the main component of industrial wastes. In this study, we produced GA from ethylene glycol using Escherichia coli overexpressing the endogenous 1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase (fucO) and lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (aldA) genes. To...
