Cytosolic re-localization and optimization of valine synthesis and catabolism enables inseased isobutanol production with the yeast <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The branched chain alcohol isobutanol exhibits superior physicochemical properties as an alternative biofuel. The yeast <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</it> naturally produces low amounts of isobutanol as a by-product during...
