Synthetic Escherichia coli-Corynebacterium glutamicum consortia for l-lysine production from starch and sucrose

In the biorefinery concept renewable feedstocks are converted to a multitude of value-added compounds irrespective of seasonal or other variations of the complex biomass substrates. Conceptionally, this can be realized by specialized single microbial strains or by co-culturing various strain combinations. In the latter approach strains for substrate conversion and for product formation can be combined. This study addressed the construction of...
