Systematic characterization of flux and network thermodynamic states for identification of metabolic engineering targets

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Keng Cher Soh

In order to identify targets for metabolic engineering interventions or understand the physiology of the cell, the first and foremost prerequisite is the knowledge or a hypothesis about the intracellular network state(s). However, even with the advanced me ...

Production of a thermostable fumarase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the bioconversion of fumarate to L-malate

Coralie Signorell

The gene encoding fumarase (fum) from Thermus thermophilus was expressed in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The recombinant cells were heated at 70°C to inactivate indigenous enzymes and used for the bioconversion of fumaric acid to L-malic acid. By heatin ...
