Title:
KETOL-ACID REDUCTOISOMERASES WITH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/048599
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to recombinant microorganisms comprising at least one nucleic acid molecule encoding a ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI) or modified NADH-dependent variant thereof, wherein said KARI is at least about 60% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2. In various aspects of the invention, the recombinant microorganisms may comprise an isobutanol producing metabolic pathway and can be used in methods of making isobutanol.
