Abstract excerpt
Improving Escherichia coli's thermotolerance through rational engineering is hindered by limited knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in supraoptimal thermal adaptation. To address this issue, we applied a reverse metabolic engineering strategy to develop a D-homolactic E. coli strain under non-aerated conditions. We first characterized the thermal reaction norms of the kinetic and stoichiometric...
