Enhanced ε-Poly-L-Lysine Production by the Synergistic Effect of ε-Poly-L-Lysine Synthetase Overexpression and Citrate in Streptomyces albulus

ε-Poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) is a natural amino acid polymer produced by microbial fermentation. It has been mainly used as a preservative in the food and cosmetics industries, as a drug carrier in medicines, and as a gene carrier in gene therapy. ε-PL synthase is the key enzyme responsible for the polyme...
