Metabolic engineering for the production of shikimic acid in an evolved <it>Escherichia coli </it>strain lacking the phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Shikimic acid (SA) is utilized in the synthesis of oseltamivir-phosphate, an anti-influenza drug. In this work, metabolic engineering approaches were employed to produce SA in <it>Escherichia coli </it>strains derived fro...
