Genetically modified microorganisms that have the ability to convert carbon substrates into chemical products such as isobutanol are disclosed. For example, genetically modified methanotrophs that are capable of generating isobutanol at high titers from a methane source are disclosed. Methods of making these genetically modified microorganisms and methods of using them are also disclosed.

Methods and microorganisms for the fermentation of methane to multi-carbon compounds

Genetically modified microorganisms that have the ability to convert carbon substrates into chemical products such as 2,3-BDO; 1,4-BDO; isobutyraldehyde; isobutanol; 1-butanol; n-butanol; ethanol; fatty alcohols; and fatty acid methyl ester are disclosed. For example, genetically modified methanotrophs that are capable of generating 2,3-BDO; 1,4-BDO; isobutyraldehyde; isobutanol; 1-butanol; n-butanol; ethanol; fatty alcohols; and fatty acid methyl ester at high titers from a methane source are disclosed. Methods of making these genetically modified microorganisms and methods of using them are also disclosed. These microorganisms and methods make use of molecular switches to regulate gene expression.

Methods and microorganisms for making 2,3-butanediol and derivatives thereof from C1 carbons

Methods of genetically modifying microorganisms using advanced genome editing are disclosed. Methods of modifying the genome of these microorganisms for point mutations, deletions, and DNA insertions are also disclosed. Further, inhibiting expression of genes without manipulating the genome of the microorganism is disclosed. In some cases, the microorganism can be a methylotroph, e.g., a methanotroph.
