Ethanol synthesis from glycerol by <i>Escherichia coli</i> redox mutants expressing <i>adhE</i> from <i>Leuconostoc mesenteroides</i>

Abstract

Insight into the micro-oxic metabolism of E. coli growing on glycerol is essential for the development of efficient industrial processes for reduced biochemicals production from this substrate, with special relevance to biofuels synthesis.
