Increased ethanol production by thermophilic microorganisms with deletion of individual hfs hydrogenase subunits
Patent
·
OSTI ID:1650762
Disclosed are methods for engineering bacteria, for example, Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum, that convert biomass to ethanol at high yield by deleting a single gene. Deletion of subunit A or subunit B of the hfs hydrogenase, but not deletion of subunit C or subunit D, results in an increase in ethanol yield.
