Engineering of Escherichia coli for Krebs cycle-dependent production of malic acid
Abstract Background Malate is a C4-dicarboxylic acid widely used as an acidulant in the food and beverage industry. Rational engineering has been performed in the past for the development of microbial strains capable of efficient production of this metabolite. However, as malate can be a precursor f...
