Metabolic control analysis enables rational improvement of E. coli l-tryptophan producers but methylglyoxal formation limits glycerol-based production

Abstract Background Although efficient l-tryptophan production using engineered Escherichia coli is established from glucose, the use of alternative carbon sources is still very limited. Through the application of glycerol as an alternate, a more sustainable substrate (by-product of biodiesel prepar...
