The present disclosure concerns recombinant yeast host cells having a first genetic modification for downregulating a first metabolic pathway that converts NADP.sup.+ to NADPH, as well as a second genetic modification for upregulating a second metabolic pathway that converts NADP.sup.+ to NADPH. The second genetic modification allows the expression of a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase lacking phosphorylating activity, which can, in some embodiments, be from enzyme commission 1.2.1.9 or 1.2.1.90. The second pathway is distinct from the first metabolic pathway. The present disclosure also concerns a process for making and improving the yield of a fermented product, such as ethanol, using the recombinant yeast host cell.

Provided herein are production systems and methods to produce a plurality of organic carbon-containing compounds from carbon dioxide, including glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, glucose, cellulose, and starch, using stabilized enzymes in aqueous media.

The present invention relates to new methylglyoxal reductase (MGR) enzymes which are useful for efficiently converting methylglyoxal into hydroxyacetone. The invention more particularly relates to a method for efficiently converting methylglyoxal into hydroxyacetone using said enzymes, to a method for producing 1,2-propanediol using a microorganism overexpressing said enzymes, and to said microorganism.

The present disclosure relates to a putrescine-producing microorganism of the genus Corynebacterium, and a method of producing putrescine using the same.
