Insights into the structure of Escherichia coli outer membrane as the target for engineering microbial cell factories

Abstract Escherichia coli is generally used as model bacteria to define microbial cell factories for many products and to investigate regulation mechanisms. E. coli exhibits phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, colanic acid, flagella and type I fimbriae on the outer membrane which is a self-protectiv...
