<i>Zymobacter palmae</i> Pyruvate Decarboxylase is Less Effective Than That of <i>Zymomonas mobilis</i> for Ethanol Production in Metabolically Engineered <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC6803

To produce bioethanol from model cyanobacteria such as <i>Synechocystis</i>, a two gene cassette consisting of genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) are required to transform pyruvate first to acetaldehyde and then to ethanol. However the partition o...
