Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Despite the potential in utilizing microbial fermentation for chemical production, the field of industrial biotechnology still lacks a standard, universally applicable principle for strain optimization. A key challenge has been in finding and applying effective ways to address metabolic flux imbalances. Strategies based on rational design require significant a priori knowledge and often fail to take a holistic view of cellular metabolism. Combinatorial approaches enable more global searches but require a high-throughput screen. Here, we present the recent advances and promises of a novel approach to metabolic pathway and strain optimization called multivariate modular metabolic engineering (MMME). In this technique, key enzymes are organized into distinct modules and simultaneously varied based on expression to balance flux through a pathway. Because of its simplicity and broad applicability, MMME has the potential to systematize and revolutionize the field of metabolic engineering and industrial biotechnology.
