Abstract excerpt
Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum is a thermophilic anaerobic bacterium that natively ferments a variety of hemicellulose substrates to organic acids and alcohols. It has recently been engineered to produce ethanol at high yield and titer; however, it uses a unique metabolic pathway for ethanol production that is poorly characterized. One of the distinctive aspects of this pathway is the presence of...
