This application describes methods, including non-naturally occurring methods, for biosynthesizing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coA and intermediates thereof, as well as non-naturally occurring hosts for producing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coA. This application also describes methods, including non-naturally occurring methods, for biosynthesizing isoprene and intermediates thereof, as well as non-naturally occurring hosts for producing isoprene.

Described is a method for the production of isobutene from 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA comprising the steps of: (a) enzymatically converting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid; and (b) further enzymatically converting the thus produced 3-methylbutyric acid into isobutene.

The conversion of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid can be achieved by first enzymatically converting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methyl butyryl-CoA and further enzymatically converting the thus produced 3-methylbutyryl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid. Alternatively, the conversion of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid can be achieved by first enzymatically converting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylcrotonic acid and then further enzymatically converting the thus produced 3-methylcrotonic acid into 3-methylbutyric acid.

The present invention provides a method for constructing an L-valine production strain, the L-valine production strain, and use thereof. According to the method for constructing the L-valine-producing strain, a 2,3-butanediol- or acetoin-producing strain is used as a starting strain, and genetic engineering modification is performed on the strain to improve the L-valine yield thereof. The present invention provides a new thought and way for efficient production of L-valine, and obtains a new production strain for efficiently producing L-valine. The L-valine-producing strain obtained in the present invention requires a simple culture medium and has low fermentation substrate and culture costs; meanwhile, the strain has a high L-valine yield and has a single product component easy to separate.
