Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for efficient biosynthesis of butyl acetate
Abstract Background Butyl acetate is a versatile compound that is widely used in the chemical and food industry. The conventional butyl acetate synthesis via Fischer esterification of butanol and acetic acid using catalytic strong acids under high temperature is not environmentally benign. Alternati...
