Exploiting the anaerobic expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase for the production of biofuels
The Pyruvate dehydrogense complex (PDH) is a primarily aerobic enzyme which catalyses pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide. Its counterpart in anaerobic metabolism is pyruvate formate lyase (Pfl) which converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and formate. A novel fermentation pathway involving PDH rathe...
