Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a polypeptide comprising a phosphate translocator and a microbial membrane-integrating protein. The phosphate translocator may be a plastidic phosphate translocator and the membrane-integrating protein may be derived from Bacillus subtilis. The invention also provides a bacterium genetically modified to export phosphorylated compounds; such organism may contain the polypeptide of the invention and may be further modified to decrease the metabolism of phosphorylated compounds or increase the production of phosphorylated compounds. Also provided is a method for the manufacture of phosphorylated compounds, comprising culturing a bacterium according to the invention and extracting the phosphorylated compounds from the culture medium. The method may be for the manufacture of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), and optionally, may include the further step of converting the DHAP into methylglyoxal.
