Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis a pfl ldhA double mutant Escherichia coli strain NZN11 is used to produce succinic acid by overexpressing the Escherichia coli malic enzyme gene sfcA. This strain, however, produces a large amount of malic acid as well as succinic acid. The fumB gene encoding the anaerobic fumarase of Escherichia coli is co-amplified to solve the problem of malic acid accumulation, and subsequently improve the succinic acid production Escherichia coli
