Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the performance and reliability of the P1 phage-based inducible directed evolution (IDE) method for performing global transcriptional machinery engineering (gTME) to improve pH tolerance in Escherichia coli Nissle. Unlike prior gTME approaches that evolved single sigma factors, we simultaneously mutated three sigma factors associated with pH tolerance (rpoD,...
