Megasphaera hexanoica KCCM 43214T, isolated from cow rumen, is capable of producing medium-chain carboxylic acids such as n-caproate and n-caprylate. In this study, we present a high-quality genome assembly, along with intracellular metabolomic profiling and pangenomic an...
Chassis strain suitable for producing multiple compounds is a central concept in synthetic biology. Design of a chassis using computational, first-principle, models is particularly attractive due to the predictability and control it offers, including against phenotype reversal due to adaptive mut...
