Genetic engineering of Escherichia coli to improve L-phenylalanine production

Abstract Background L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) is an essential amino acid for mammals and applications expand into human health and nutritional products. In this study, a system level engineering was conducted to enhance L-Phe biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. Results We inactivated the PTS system and...
