Fig. 2From: Eliminating acetate formation improves citramalate production by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli Comparison of citramalate and acetate yields at 24 h in shake flasks using various E. coli strains each expressing cimA gene on the pZE12-cimA plasmid. The defined medium contained 5 g/L glucose, 1 g/L l-glutamate and 0.2 g/L l-leucine. All studies were carried out in triplicate. Results with MEC499/pZE12-cimA are from [40]Back to article page
