The present invention provides an improved method for the production of 1,3-propanediol from a variety of carbon sources in an organism capable of 1,3-propanediol production and comprising DNA encoding protein X of a microorganismal dehydratase or protein X in combination with at least one of protein 1, protein 2 and protein 3, which proteins are comparable to those encoded by orfY, orfX and orfW, respectively from a microorganismal dha regulon. The protein X may be isolated from a diol dehydratase or a glycerol dehydratase. The present invention also provides host cells comprising protein X that are capable of increased production of 1,3-propanediol.
