Multilevel optimisation of anaerobic ethyl acetate production in engineered Escherichia coli

Abstract Background Ethyl acetate is a widely used industrial solvent that is currently produced by chemical conversions from fossil resources. Several yeast species are able to convert sugars to ethyl acetate under aerobic conditions. However, performing ethyl acetate synthesis anaerobically may re...
