Modified microorganisms and methods of using same for producing isoprene, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, and/or 2-methylbut-2-en-1-ol

The present disclosure generally relates to microorganisms (e.g., non-naturally occurring microorganisms) that comprise one or more polynucleotides coding for enzymes in a pathway that catalyze a conversion of a carbon source (e.g., a fermentable carbon source) to isoprene, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, and/or 2-methylbut-2-en-1-ol and the use of such microorganisms for the production of isoprene, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, and/or 2-methylbut-2-en-1-ol.
