Abstract excerpt
In whole-cell biocatalysis, cell envelopes represent a formidable barrier for substrates to permeate. The present research addresses this critical issue by investigating the effects of outer membrane mutation on uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose-utilizing enzymes in whole-cell systems. Owing to the severe limitation in substrate permeability, the wild-type Escherichia coli cells only exhibited as low as 4% of...
