A comparison of selected methods for measuring the virulence properties of Listeria spp.

abstract：:Fermentation properties under the control of multiple genes are difficult to alter with traditional methods in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, a novel genome engineering approach is developed to improve ethanol production in very high gravity fermentation with 300 g/L glucose as the carbon source. This strategy involv...
