A Recurrent Silent Mutation Implicates fecA in Ethanol Tolerance by Escherichia coli

Abstract Background An issue associated with efficient bioethanol production is the fact that the desired product is toxic to the biocatalyst. Among other effects, ethanol has previously been found to influence the membrane of E. coli in a dose-dependent manner and induce changes in the lipid compos...
