A special reactor design for investigations of mixing time effects in a scaled-down industrial L-lysine fed-batch fermentation process

abstract：:The fim inversion system of Escherichia coli (E. coli) can behave as a unidirectional switch in an efficient manner. We have developed a new expression system for E. coli, comprising the arabinose-inducible fimE gene and the fim invertible DNA segment containing a constitutively active promoter. In this system, the ta...
