Identification of functional butanol-tolerant genes from Escherichia coli mutants derived from error-prone PCR-based whole-genome shuffling

Abstract Background Butanol is an important biofuel and chemical. The development of butanol-tolerant strains and the identification of functional butanol-tolerant genes is essential for high-yield bio-butanol production due to the toxicity of butanol. Results Escherichia coli BW25113 was subjected...
