Generation of an E. coli platform strain for improved sucrose utilization using adaptive laboratory evolution
Abstract Background Sucrose is an attractive industrial carbon source due to its abundance and the fact that it can be cheaply generated from sources such as sugarcane. However, only a few characterized Escherichia coli strains are able to metabolize sucrose, and those that can are typically slow gr...
