    Abstract: The invention provides non-naturally occurring microbial organisms containing enzymatic pathways and/or metabolic modifications for enhancing carbon flux through acetyl-CoA. In some embodiments, the microbial organisms having such pathways also include pathways for generating reducing equivalents, formaldehyde fixation and/or formate assimilation. The enhanced carbon flux through acetyl-CoA, in combination with pathways for generating reducing equivalents, formaldehyde fixation and/or formate assimilation can, in some embodiments, be used for production of a bioderived compound. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the microbial organisms of the invention can include a pathway capable of producing a bioderived compound of the invention. The invention still further provides a bioderived compound produced by a microbial organism of the invention, culture medium having the bioderived compound of the invention, compositions having the bioderived compound of the invention, a biobased product comprising the bioderived compound of the invention, and a process for producing a bioderived compound of the invention.

    Abstract: The invention provides polypeptides and encoding nucleic acids of aldehyde dehydrogenase variants. The invention also provides cells expressing aldehyde dehydrogenase variants. The invention further provides methods for producing 3-hydroxybutyraldehyde (3-HBal) and/or 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BDO), or an ester or amide thereof, comprising culturing cells expressing an aldehyde dehydrogenase variant or using lysates of such cells. The invention additional provides methods for producing 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde (4-HBal) and/or 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO), or an ester or amide thereof, comprising culturing cells expressing an aldehyde dehydrogenase variant or using lysates of such cells.

    Abstract: A non-naturally occurring microbial organism having an aniline pathway includes at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding an aniline pathway enzyme expressed in a sufficient amount to produce aniline. The aniline pathway includes (1) an aminodeoxychorismate synthase, an aminodeoxychorismate lyase, and a 4-aminobenzoate carboxylyase or (2) an anthranilate synthase and an anthranilate decarboxylase. A method for producing aniline, includes culturing these non-naturally occurring microbial organisms under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce aniline.
