Abstract excerpt
β-Alanine is an important platform chemical whose biosynthesis efficiency is limited by pathway bottlenecks and enzyme constraints. In this study, to overcome genetic interactions for β-alanine production, we systematically engineered Escherichia coli MG1655 through modular pathway optimization and combinatorial regulation. To overcome the limitations of L-aspartate-α-decarboxylase from Bacillus subtilis...
