Fig. 1From: Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli carrying the hybrid acetone-biosynthesis pathway for efficient acetone biosynthesis from acetateSimplified metabolic pathways of acetone biosynthesis by engineered E. coli strain using acetate as carbon source under aerobic condition. Blue arrows represent acetate assimilation pathway, green arrows for acetone synthesis, orange arrows for futile cycle and purple arrows for tricarboxylic acid cycle. Four plasmids containing the acetone biosynthesis pathways were constructed and investigatedBack to article page
