Abstract
The present application relates to recombinant microorganisms expressing a dehydratase useful in a one-step, direct fermentative production of one or more primary alkenes from one or more saturated primary or secondary alcohols. Known, well developed high-yielding pathways that use renewable feedstock can be introduced into the recombinant microorganisms to obtain the alcohol precursors. Also provided are methods of producing one or more primary alkenes using the recombinant microorganisms, as well as compositions comprising the recombinant microorganisms and/or optionally the primary alkene products.
