Abstract:
An engineered bacterium for producing ethanol from one or more carbohydrates is disclosed. The bacterium can be made by (a) inactivating within a  Lactobacillus casei  bacterium one or more endogenous genes encoding a lactate dehydrogenase; or (b) introducing into a  Lactobacillus casei  bacterium one or more exogenous genes encoding a pyruvate decarboxylase and one or more exogenous genes encoding an alcohol dehydrogenase II; or (c) performing both steps (a) and (b). The resulting engineered bacterium produces significantly more ethanol than the wild-type  Lactobacillus casei  bacterium, and can be used in producing ethanol from a substrate such as biomass that includes carbohydrates.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the gene deletion mutations comprise \u0394 L-lactate dehydrogenase 1 (\u0394L-ldh1).
