Abstract excerpt
The biosynthesis of small molecules can be fine-tuned by (re)engineering metabolic flux within cells. We have adapted this approach to optimize an in vivo selection system for the conversion of prephenate to phenylpyruvate, a key step in the production of the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine. Careful control of prephenate concentration in a bacterial host lacking prephenate dehydratase, achieved...
