Our aim is to merge and optimize the main features of naturally occurring lactose-cleaving and ethanol-producing microorganisms to build up an engineered biological system that can metabolize lactose and can ferment it in ethanol with high yield. Here we provide an overview of the main enzymes and biochemical pathways involved in these two processes.

MICROBIAL SOURCES OF LACTASE

The complete lactose to ethanol transformation pathway is summarized in the following figure.
