Deskripsi

Ferredoxin-NAD(P) + oxidoreductases are important enzymes for redox balancing in n-butanol production by Clostridium acetobutylicum, but the encoding genes remain unknown. Here, the authors identify the long sought-after genes and increase n-butanol production by optimizing the levels of the two enzymes.
