An estimate is worth about a thousand experiments: using order-of-magnitude estimates to identify cellular engineering targets

Abstract Biotechnological processes use microbes to convert abundant molecules, such as glucose, into high-value products, such as pharmaceuticals, commodity and fine chemicals, and energy. However, from the outset of the development of a new bioprocess, it is difficult to determine the feasibility,...
