METHODS AND MICROORGANISMS FOR MAKING 2,3-BUTANEDIOL AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF FROM C1 CARBONS

Abstract:

Genetically modified microorganisms that have the ability to convert carbon substrates into chemical products such as 2,3-BDO are disclosed. For example, genetically modified methanotrophs that are capable of generating 2,3-BDO at high titers from a methane source are disclosed. Methods of making these genetically modified microorganisms and methods of using them are also disclosed.
