  • BIOCONVERSION OF LEVULINIC ACID IN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED HOSTS
    Publication number: 20210155961
    Abstract: Described is a recombinant expression vector that enables a cell transformed to contain and express the vector to use levulinic acid as a carbon source, thereby converting levulnic acid into 2-butanne. Also described are genetically modified cells transformed to contain and express the vector and methods of using the cells to produce 2-butanone from a medium containing levulinic acid.
    Type: Application
