Evaluation of the genus of Caldicellulosiruptor for production of 1,2-propanediol from methylpentoses

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Caldicellulosiruptor species degrade L-rhamnose and L-fucose to 1,2-propanediol. Six of the nine species within the genus produced 1,2-propanediol from L-rhamnose and three utilized L-fucose to produce the compound. Yields of 1,2-propanediol up to 40.5% of the theoretical yield were observed from methylpentoses catabolism.
