Dilemma in Carotenoids Versus Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Synthesis Using Haloarchaea as Cell Factories

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Production of PHAs by haloarchaea: the production of carotenoids and PHAs is concomitant, and consequently, various metabolic pathways compete for the carbon source. This results in a loss of PHA production efficiency. Efficient control of carbon source utilization (favoring certain metabolic pathways at the expense of others) is the key to the ...
