Abstract excerpt
Several biotechnological processes rely on the utilization of high-copy-number plasmids for heterologous gene expression, and understanding the interactions between plasmid DNA and bacterial hosts is highly relevant for bioprocess optimization. We assessed metabolic modifications and physiological changes exerted by expression of a plasmid-encoded alcohol-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides...
