Improving acetate tolerance of Escherichia coli by rewiring its global regulator cAMP receptor protein (CRP).

The presence of acetate exceeding 5 g/L is a major concern during E. coli fermentation due to its inhibitory effect on cell growth, thereby limiting high-density cell culture and recombinant protein production. Hence, engineered E. coli strains with enhanced acetate tolerance would be valuable for t...
