Employing bacterial microcompartments to create privileged redox pools for biofuel production (Final report: Accomplishments)
Over the award period we made progress on all three objectives. We completed our goal of understanding the impact of cofactor recycling on pathway performance for a propanediol-related pathway (Objective 1) and coupled this data with kinetic metabolic models developed in Objective 3, resulting in several products (4 published research articles, 1 review and 3 other research manuscripts in preparation). We completed half of Objective 2 but found the pathway was incompatible with compartmentalization, which is an important but unexpected result. The details are relayed in the following sections, grouped by objective and task as applicable.
