Abstract
Genetically modified microorganisms that have the ability to convert carbon substrates into chemical products such as 1,4-BDO are disclosed. For example, genetically modified methanotrophs that are capable of generating 1,4-BDO at high titers from a methane source are disclosed. Methods of making these genetically modified microorganisms and methods of using them are also disclosed.
