The present invention relates to a genetically modified microorganism for the optimized production of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO), where the microorganism metabolically transforms xylose into 1,4-BDO. The invention also relates to a method for the optimized production of 1,4-butanediol by culturing said genetically modified microorganism in a fermentation medium and recovering the 1,4-BDO from said medium. |
