An evolutionary optimization of a rhodopsin-based phototrophic metabolism in Escherichia coli

Abstract Background The expression of the Gloeobacter rhodopsin (GR) in a chemotrophic Escherichia coli enables the light-driven phototrophic energy generation. Adaptive laboratory evolution has been used for acquiring desired phenotype of microbial cells and for the elucidation of basic mechanism o...
