摘要
In this paper, we describe a successful approach to genetically modify the shikimate pathway of E. coll to overproduce aromatic amino acids. Every gene in the entire pathway was manipulated and its effect was examined. Based on this analysis, an optimum combination of genes and their expression levels were arrived at to maximize aromatic amino acid production. Feedback repression/inhibition effects are essentially neutralized by this approach. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group LLC. All rights reserved.
