Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) production is commonly achieved using glycerol, citrate, and L-glutamic acid as substrates. The constitutive expression of the γ-PGA synthetase enabled γ-PGA production with Bacillus subtilis from glucose only. The precursors
