  • Microorganisms and methods for enhancing the availability of reducing equivalents in the presence of methanol, and for producing 3-hydroxyisobutyrate or methacrylic acid related thereto
    Patent number: 9346902
    Abstract: Provided herein is a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a methanol metabolic pathway that can enhance the availability of reducing equivalents in the presence of methanol. Such reducing equivalents can be used to increase the product yield of organic compounds produced by the microbial organism, such as 3-hydroxyisobutyrate or MAA. Also provided herein are methods for using such an organism to produce 3-hydroxyisobutyrate or MAA.
    Type: Grant
