Modification of the glycolytic pathway in Pyrococcus furiosus and the implications for metabolic engineering
EXTREMOPHILES, 24(4), 511–518.
author keywords: Pyrococcus; Thermophile; Central metabolism; Glycolysis
MeSH headings : Fermentation; Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate; Glycolysis; Metabolic Engineering; Pyrococcus furiosus
TL;DR:
Insertion of a single gene encoding the thermostable NADPH-dependent primary alcohol dehydrogenase (adhA) from Caldanaerobacter subterraneus resulted in a strain producing ethanol via the previously established aldehyde oxidoreductase (AOR) pathway, and demonstrated a high ratio of ethanol over acetate at 80 °C and enabled ethanol production up to 85 °C, the highest temperature for bio-ethanol production reported to date.
