Biosensor-based isolation of amino acid-producing Vibrio natriegens strains
The marine bacterium Vibrio natriegens has recently been demonstrated to be a promising new host for molecular biology and next generation bioprocesses. V. natriegens is a Gram-negative, non-pathogenic slight-halophilic bacterium, with a high nutrient versatility and a reported doubling time of unde...
