Abstract excerpt
The culture of Escherichia coli for the commercial production of recombinant proteins has increased significantly in recent years. The production of acetate as a byproduct retards cell growth, inhibits protein formation, and diverts carbon from biomass to protein product. Our approach to reducing acetate accumulation was to disable the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PEP-PTS) by deleting the...
