Redesigning metabolic networks using mathematical programming

abstract：:Substrate transfer rates from organic to aqueous phases were measured in the presence and absence of biocatalyst in the reaction medium, using modified Lewis cells. These measurements, in combination with intrinsic aqueous phase biocatalytic reaction kinetics, were used to confirm that benzyl acetate hydrolysis by pig...
