van der Hoek, Steven A | Borodina, Irina
Engineering the transport of small molecules is an effective approach to improve the performance of microbial cell factories. Transporter engineering can improve the utilization of low-cost alternative substrates, reduce the loss of pathway intermediates, and increase the titer and production rate of the target product. However, transporters are not commonly engineered in strain development programs because the functions of most of the transport proteins are not known. In the recent years, a variety of methods have been developed for identification of transporters for specific substrates and for characterizing transport mechanisms. This review presents recent examples of successful transport engineering for cell factories and discusses the methods for transporter identification and characterization.
