This study compares two arabinose utilization pathways in Pseudomonas putida to optimize muconic acid production from lignocellulosic sugars, finding a tradeoff between growth rate and yield.

This paper improves muconic acid production in Pseudomonas putida by overcoming PCA and catechol accumulation through adaptive evolution and metabolic engineering, showing that increased CatA1 expression enhances pathway efficiency.

This paper redefines the role of PhaG and CoA ligases in PHA biosynthesis in Pseudomonas putida and demonstrates engineered production of 3-hydroxyacids.
