Truncating LPS can efficiently improve the PHB production in E. coli. a The structure of LPS and the genes relevant to the polysaccharides portion of LPS. The enzymes in red are encoded by core cluster, and enzymes in gray are encoded by O-antigen cluster. b The mechanism analysis for the improved PHB accumulation by truncating LPS in E. coli. EMP: Entner–Doudoroff pathway; TCA: Tricarboxylic acid cycle; PP: Pentose Phosphate; GLC: Glucose; G6P: Glucose-6-phosphate; 3PG: 3-phosphoglycerate; PEP: phosphoenol pyruvate; PHB: poly-3-hydroxybutyrate. The key factors are highlighted with blue color for improving PHB production
