Exploiting RNA thermometer-driven molecular bioprocess control as a concept for heterologous rhamnolipid production

Abstract A key challenge to advance the efficiency of bioprocesses is the uncoupling of biomass from product formation, as biomass represents a by-product that is in most cases difficult to recycle efficiently. Using the example of rhamnolipid biosurfactants, a temperature-sensitive heterologous pro...
