Construction of a plasmid-free l-leucine overproducing Escherichia coli strain through reprogramming of the metabolic flux

Abstract Background l-Leucine is a high-value amino acid with promising applications in the medicine and feed industries. However, the complex metabolic network and intracellular redox imbalance in fermentative microbes limit their efficient biosynthesis of l-leucine. Results In this study, we appli...
