Fig. 1From: Metabolic engineering of Pichia pastoris for production of isobutanol and isobutyl acetateConstruction of higher alcohol synthesis pathways in heterologous hosts such as E. coli [8], S. cerevisiae [12, 14] and P. pastoris (this work). In vivo higher branched-chain alcohol production is derived from 2-keto acid. KDC keto acid decarboxylase, ADH alcohol dehydrogenaseBack to article page
