Basic Methods in Molecular Biology (1986)

Engineering microbial biofuel tolerance and export using efflux pumps.

Mary J Dunlop et al.

Molecular systems biology, 7, 487-487 (2011-05-11)

Many compounds being considered as candidates for advanced biofuels are toxic to microorganisms. This introduces an undesirable trade-off when engineering metabolic pathways for biofuel production because the engineered microbes must balance production against survival. Cellular export systems, such as efflux
