Expanding the use of ethanol as a feedstock for cell-free synthetic biochemistry by implementing acetyl-CoA and ATP generating pathways

Abstract Ethanol is a widely available carbon compound that can be increasingly produced with a net negative carbon balance. Carbon-negative ethanol might therefore provide a feedstock for building a wider range of sustainable chemicals. Here we show how ethanol can be converted with a cell free sys...
