Abstract excerpt
Rational engineering strategies that seek to harness the remarkable diversity of microbial metabolism can be limited by incomplete biological knowledge. As described here, a novel approach to address this challenge involved replacing a native pathway for degrading lignin-derived aromatic compounds via ortho cleavage of protocatechuate in Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 with a foreign meta-cleavage pathway that uses...
