Fig. 1From: Microbial biosynthesis of lactate estersIn vivo characterization of various alcohol acyltransferases for biosynthesis of lactate esters. a Biosynthesis pathways of lactate and acetate esters with external supply of alcohols. b Ester production of EcJW101, EcJW102, EcJW103, EcJW104, and EcJW105 harboring ATF1, ATF2, SAAT, VAAT, and atfA, respectively in high cell density cultures with various alcohol doping. Each error bar represents 1 standard deviation (s.d., n = 3). Symbols: n.d. not detected, n.s. not significant, *p < 0.073, and **p < 0.013 (Student’s t-test). c The library of esters produced. Green check marks indicate the esters produced in this study while red star marks indicate the esters produced for first time in engineered strainsBack to article page
