Metabolic engineering of Rhodopseudomonas palustris for the obligate reduction of n-butyrate to n-butanol
Abstract Background Rhodopseudomonas palustris is a versatile microbe that encounters an innate redox imbalance while growing photoheterotrophically with reduced substrates. The resulting excess in reducing equivalents, together with ATP from photosynthesis, could be utilized to drive a wide range o...
