Module III - Isobutanol production

Isobutanol pathway

Alcohol dehydrogenase

As described in the section about the alcohol dehydrogenase we could show the successful overexpression of the protein AdhA from Lactococcus lactis in E. coli.
Further analysis could be an anaerobic cultivation for a complementation analysis of the strain ΔadhE748::kan. Cong et al., 2011 showed that E. coli cannot grow after the loss of its alcohol dehydrogenase.
