Constructing 'intelligent' microbial cell factories

New Content Item (1)

This special issue of Microbial Cell Factories covers the topic of 'Constructing 'intelligent' microbial cell factories' by dynamic and systems metabolic engineering approaches.

Edited by Prof Long Liu, Jiangnan University, China

  1. Microbial cell factories are widely used in the production of acidic products such as organic acids and amino acids. However, the metabolic activity of microbial cells and their production efficiency are sever...
