Opening a Novel Biosynthetic Pathway to Dihydroxyacetone and Glycerol in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Mutants through Expression of a Gene Variant (<i>fsaA</i><sup>A129S</sup>) for Fructose 6-Phosphate Aldolase

Phosphofructokinase (PFK) plays a pivotal role in glycolysis. By deletion of the genes <i>pfkA</i>, <i>pfkB</i> (encoding the two PFK isoenzymes), and <i>zwf</i> (glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase) in <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12, a mutant strain (GL3)...
