The invention provides non-naturally occurring microbial organisms comprising a 1,4-butanediol (BDO), 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, 4-hydroxybutanal or putrescine pathway comprising at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding a BDO, 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, 4-hydroxybutanal or putrescine pathway enzyme expressed in a sufficient amount to produce BDO, 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, 4-hydroxybutanal or putrescine and further optimized for expression of BDO. The invention additionally provides methods of using such microbial organisms to produce BDO, 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, 4-hydroxybutanal or putrescine.

A genetically modified microorganism that can produce 3-hydroxyadipic acid and/or α-hydromuconic acid with a high yield; and a method of producing 3-hydroxyadipic acid and/or α-hydromuconic acid using the genetically modified microorganism, are disclosed. The genetically modified microorganism has an ability to produce 3-hydroxyadipic acid and/or α-hydromuconic acid, and has an enhanced enzymatic activity to catalyze a reaction to reduce 3-oxoadipyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA, wherein, in the genetically modified microorganism, a dicarboxylic acid excretion carrier function is deleted or decreased.

The invention concerns a genetically modified microorganism expressing a functional type I or II RuBisCO enzyme and a functional phosphoribulokinase (PRK), and in which the glycolysis pathway is at least partially inhibited, said microorganism being genetically modified so as to produce an exogenous molecule and/or to overproduce an endogenous molecule. According to the invention, the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway may also be at least partially inhibited. The invention also concerns the use of such a genetically modified microorganism for the production or overproduction of a molecule of interest and processes for the synthesis or bioconversion of molecules of interest.

Provided herein, inter alia, are methods, host cells, and vectors for producing 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP). In some embodiments, the host cells include a recombinant polynucleotide encoding an oxaloacetate decarboxylase (OAADC) and a polynucleotide encoding a 3-hydroxypropionate dehydrogenase (3-HPDH). In some embodiments, the methods include culturing said host cell(s) in a culture medium comprising a substrate under conditions suitable for the recombinant host cell to convert the substrate to 3-HP. Expression of the OAADC and the 3-HPDH results in increased production of 3-HP, as compared to production by a host cell lacking expression of the OAADC and the 3-HPDH.
