Identification of Key Metabolites in Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid Production by Tuning γ-PGA Synthetase Expression

Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) production is commonly achieved using glycerol, citrate, and L-glutamic acid as substrates. The constitutive expression of the γ-PGA synthetase enabled γ-PGA production with Bacillus subtilis from glucose only. The precursors for γ-PGA synthesis, D- and L-glutamate, are...
