Metabolic engineering of Clostridium beijerinckii to improve glycerol metabolism and furfural tolerance

Abstract Background Inefficient utilization of glycerol by Clostridium beijerinckii (Cb) is a major impediment to adopting glycerol metabolism as a strategy for increasing NAD(P)H regeneration, which would in turn, alleviate the toxicity of lignocellulose-derived microbial inhibitory compounds (LDMI...
