Network-Based Identification of Adaptive Pathways in Evolved Ethanol-Tolerant Bacterial Populations.

Abstract excerpt

Efficient production of ethanol for use as a renewable fuel requires organisms with a high level of ethanol tolerance. However, this trait is complex and increased tolerance therefore requires mutations in multiple genes and pathways. Here, we use experimental evolution for a system-level analysis of adaptation of Escherichia coli to high ethanol stress. As adaptation to extreme stress often results in complex...
