Heterologous 1,3-Propanediol Production Using Different Recombinant DSM 6423 Strains.

1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is a valuable basic chemical, especially in the polymer industry to produce polytrimethylene terephthalate. Unfortunately, the production of 1,3-PDO mainly depends on petroleum products as precursors. Furthermore, the chemical routes have significant disadvantages, such as environmental issues.
