A novel programmable lysozyme-based lysis system in Pseudomonas putida for biopolymer production

Abstract Cell lysis is crucial for the microbial production of industrial fatty acids, proteins, biofuels, and biopolymers. In this work, we developed a novel programmable lysis system based on the heterologous expression of lysozyme. The inducible lytic system was tested in two Gram-negative bacter...
