Osaka researchers produce 1-propanol, a precursor of propylene, from glucose with engineered E. coli

Using a synthetic biology approach with a dehydratase originating from Klebsiella engineered into E. coli, the group around Michihiko KATSUOKA at Osaka Prefectural University obtained about 30 g/L of 1-propanol
