Metabolic perturbations in mutants of glucose transporters and their applications in metabolite production in Escherichia coli

Abstract Background Most microorganisms have evolved to maximize growth rate, with rapid consumption of carbon sources from the surroundings. However, fast growing phenotypes usually feature secretion of organic compounds. For example, E. coli mainly produced acetate in fast growing condition such a...
