Cellulosic hydrocarbons production by engineering dual synthesis pathways in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

The dual hydrocarbon synthesis pathways (OleT and AAR-ADO pathways) were constructed in the inhibitors tolerant C. glutamicum S9114 strain for hydrocarbon production using lignocellulose feedstock as the starting feedstock. When corn stover was used for hydrocarbons production after dry acid pretreatment and biodetoxification, the hydrocarbons generation reached 16.0 mg/L. This study provided a new strategy for hydrocarbons synthesis using microbial cell factory suitable for lignocellulose feedstock.
