Description:
Article n -Butanol is a valuable biofuel that can be produced industrially by bacterial fermentation. Here the authors uncover a redox-switch within Clostridium acetobutylicum ’s thiolase—a key enzyme involved in n -butanol biosynthesis—that controls the rate of fermentative butanol production.
