Growth-uncoupled isoprenoid synthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Microbial cell factories are usually engineered and employed for cultivations that combine product synthesis with growth. Such a strategy inevitably invests part of the substrate pool towards the generation of biomass and cellular maintenance.
