Fig. 9From: When metabolic prowess is too much of a good thing: how carbon catabolite repression and metabolic versatility impede production of esterified α,ω-diols in Pseudomonas putida KT2440Oxidation conversion of n-hexane and hexyl acetate by engineered strains under resting-cell conditions. a Hexyl acetate production from 1% v/v n-hexane in engineered P. putida KT2440. b DAH production from 1% v/v hexyl acetate in engineered P. putida KT2440. Glucose was fed for cell maintenance. 6HHA 6-hydroxy hexyl acetate, DAH 1,6-diacetoxyhexane, P-BGTLA P. putida KT2440 with alkBGTL-Atf1 expression, P-B*G*TLA* P. putida KT2440 with expression of alkBGTL-Atf1 where the Crc/Hfq mRNA attachment sites of alkB, alkG and Atf1 were removed, ΔEst12/K-B*G*TLA* P. putida KT2440 ΔEst12/K expression of alkBGTL-Atf1 where the Crc/Hfq mRNA attachment sites of alkB, alkG and Atf1 were removed.
