Reprogramming the EnvZ-OmpR two-component system confers ethanol tolerance in Escherichia coli by stabilizing the outer membrane and altering iron homeostasis.

Thomas Schalck, Sarah De Graeve, Lars Roba…·Jan Jacques Michiels

This paper shows that a single amino acid change in the EnvZ-OmpR system improves ethanol tolerance in E. coli by stabilizing the outer membrane and altering iron homeostasis.
