Improvements in the biological production of 1,3-propanediol, a key component of an emerging polymer business, have been realized. Utilizing genes from natural strains that produce 1,3-propanediol from glycerol, metabolic engineering has enabled the development of a recombinant strain that utilizes the lower cost feedstock D-glucose. This accomplishment bodes well for future metabolic engineering efforts and, ultimately, for increased societal benefit obtained through the production of chemicals from renewable resources.
