Construction of prophage-free and highly-transformable Limosilactobacillus reuteri strains and their use for production ...
Published in Biotechnology and bioengineering
The lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri) is a desirable host for the production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from glycerol when 1,3-PDO is used in the food or cosmetic industry. However, the production is hindered by strain instability, causing cell lysis, and difficult gene manipulation. This study rev...
