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 study evolves a microbial strain under dynamic conditions to optimize sugar catabolism, finding that mixed-sugar environments promote stable retention and coordinated optimization of multiple pathways.
