' - (57) Abstract: The invention provides non-naturally occurring microbial organisms containing 2,4-pentadienoate, butadiene, pro o pylene, 1,3-butanediol, crotyl alcohol or 3-buten-l-ol pathways comprising at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding a butadiene pathway enzyme expressed in a sufficient amount to produce 2,4-pentadienoate, butadiene, propylene, 1,3-butanediol, crotyl alcohol or 3-buten-l-ol. The invention additionally provides methods of using such microbial organisms to produce 2,4-pentadienoate, butadiene, propylene, 1,3-butanediol, crotyl alcohol or 3-buten-l-ol, by culturing a non- naturally occurring microbial organism con- taining 2,4-pentadienoate, butadiene, propylene, 1,3-butanediol, crotyl alcohol or 3-buten-l-ol pathways as described herein under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce 2,4-pentadienoate, butadiene, propylene, 1,3-butanediol, crotyl alcohol or 3-buten-l-ol.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to biosynthetic processes, and more specifically to organisms having 2,4-pentadienoate, butadiene, propylene, 1,3-butanediol, crotyl alcohol or 3-buten-l-ol biosynthetic capability. Over 25 billion pounds of butadiene (1,3-butadiene, BD) are produced annually and is applied in the manufacture of polymers such as synthetic rubbers and ABS resins, and chemicals such as hexamethylenediamine and 1,4-butanediol. Butadiene is typically produced as a by-product of the steam cracking process for conversion of petroleum feedstocks such as naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas, ethane or natural gas to ethylene and other olefins. The ability to manufacture butadiene from alternative and/or renewable feedstocks would represent a major advance in the quest for more sustainable chemical production processes One possible way to produce butadiene renewably involves fermentation of sugars or other feedstocks to produce diols, such as 1,4-butanediol or 1,3-butanediol, which are separated, purified, and then dehydrated to butadiene in a second step involving metal- based catalysis. Direct fermentative production of butadiene from renewable feedstocks would obviate the need for dehydration steps and butadiene gas (bp -4.4°C) would be continuously emitted from the fermenter and readily condensed and collected. Developing a fermentative production process would eliminate the need for fossil-based butadiene and would allow substantial savings in cost, energy, and harmful waste and emissions relative to petrochemically-derived butadiene. 2,4-Pentadienoate is a useful substituted butadiene derivative in its own right and a valuable intermediate en route to other substituted 1,3-butadiene derivatives, including, for example, 1-carbamoyl- 1,3-butadienes which are accessible via Curtius rearrangement. The resultant N-protected- 1,3-butadiene derivatives can be used in Diels alder reactions for the preparation of substituted anilines. 2,4-Pentadienoate can be used in the preparation of various polymers and co-polymers. 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BDO) is a four carbon diol traditionally produced from acetylene via its hydration. The resulting acetaldehyde is then converted to 3-hydroxybutyraldehdye which is subsequently reduced to form 1,3-BDO. In more recent years, acetylene has been replaced by the less expensive ethylene as a source of acetaldehyde. 1,3-BDO is commonly used as an organic solvent for food flavoring agents. It is also used as a co- monomer for polyurethane and polyester resins and is widely employed as a hypoglycaemic agent. Optically active 1,3-BDO is a useful starting material for the synthesis of biologically active compounds and liquid crystals. A commercial use of 1,3- butanediol is subsequent dehydration to afford 1,3-butadiene (Ichikawa et al, J. of Molecular Catalysis A-Chemical, 256:106-1 12 (2006); Ichikawa et al., J. of Molecular Catalysis A-Chemical, 231:181-189 (2005)), a 25 billion lb/yr petrochemical used to manufacture synthetic rubbers (e.g., tires), latex, and resins. The reliance on petroleum based feedstocks for either acetylene or ethylene warrants the development of a renewable feedstock based route to 1,3-butanediol and to butadiene. 3-Buten-l-ol is a raw material used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, perfumes and resins. The palladium-catalyzed coupling of 3-buten-l-ol with aryl halides is a valuable process for the preparation of aryl-substituted aldehydes such as, for example, the antifolate compound Pemetrexed disodium (R. C. Larock et al, Tetrahedron Letters, 30, 6629 (1989) andU.S. Pat. No. 6,262,262). 3-Buten-l-ol is commonly prepared from propylene and formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst at high temperature and pressure. Alternately, it is prepared from 3,4-epoxy-l-butene. Preparation of 3-buten-l-ol from renewable feedstocks has not been demonstrated to date. Propylene is produced primarily as a by-product of petroleum refining and of ethylene production by steam cracking of hydrocarbon feedstocks. Propene is separated by fractional distillation from hydrocarbon mixtures obtained from cracking and other refining processes. Typical hydrocarbon feedstocks are from non-renewable fossil fuels, such as petroleum, natural gas and to a much lesser extent coal. Over 75 billion pounds of propylene are manufactured annually, making it the second largest fossil-based chemical produced behind ethylene. Propylene is a base chemical that is converted into a wide range of polymers, polymer intermediates and chemicals. Some of the most common derivatives of chemical and polymer grade propylene are polypropylene, acrylic acid, butanol, butanediol, acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, isopropanol and cumene. The use of the propylene derivative, polypropylene, in the production of plastics, such as injection moulding, and fibers, such as carpets, accounts for over one-third of U.S. consumption for this derivative. Propylene is also used in the production of synthetic rubber and as a propellant or component in aerosols. The ability to manufacture propylene from alternative and/or renewable feedstocks would represent a major advance in the quest for more sustainable chemical production processes. One possible way to produce propylene renewably involves fermentation of sugars or other feedstocks to produce the alcohols 2-propanol (isopropanol) or 1-propanol, which is separated, purified, and then dehydrated to propylene in a second step involving metal-based catalysis. Direct fermentative production of propylene from renewable feedstocks would obviate the need for dehydration. During fermentative production, propylene gas would be continuously emitted from the fermenter, which could be readily collected and condensed.
