Engineering E. coli for simultaneous glucose–xylose utilization during methyl ketone production
Abstract Background We previously developed an E. coli strain that overproduces medium-chain methyl ketones for potential use as diesel fuel blending agents or as flavors and fragrances. To date, the strain’s performance has been optimized during growth with glucose. However, lignocellulosic biomass...
