Underground isoleucine biosynthesis pathways in E. coli

Underground isoleucine biosynthesis pathways in E. coli

The promiscuous activities of enzymes provide fertile ground for the evolution of new metabolic pathways. Here, we systematically explore the ability of E. coli to harness underground metabolism to compensate for the deletion of an essential biosynthetic pathway. By deleting all threonine deaminases...
