Engineering CRISPR interference system in Klebsiella pneumoniae for attenuating lactic acid synthesis

Abstract Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a promising industrial species for bioproduction of bulk chemicals such as 1,3-propanediol, 2,3-butanediol and 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP). However, lactic acid is a troublesome by-product when optimizing for 3-HP production. Therefore, it is highly de...
