Abstract excerpt
The fast-growing capability of Escherichia coli strains used to produce industrially relevant metabolites relies on their capability to transport efficiently glucose or potential industrial feedstocks such as sucrose or xylose as carbon sources. E. coli imports extracellular glucose into the periplasmic space across the outer membrane porins: OmpC, OmpF, and LamB. As the internal membrane is an impermeable...
