High-Level Acetaldehyde Production in Lactococcus lactis by Metabolic Engineering

Abstract
Efficient conversion of glucose to acetaldehyde is achieved by nisin-controlled overexpression of Zymomonas mobilis pyruvate decarboxylase ( pdc ) and Lactococcus lactis NADH oxidase ( nox ) in L. lactis . In resting cells, almost 50% of the glucose consumed could be redirected towards acetaldehyde by combined overexpression of pdc and nox under anaerobic conditions.
