In vitro bioconversion of pyruvate to n-butanol with minimized cofactor utilization
Due to enhanced energy content and reduced hygroscopicity compared to ethanol, n-butanol is flagged as a next generation biofuel and platform chemical. In addition to conventional cellular systems, butanol bioproduction by enzyme cascades is gaining momentum due to simplified process control. In con...
