This paper engineers Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 to efficiently utilize pentose sugars and produce L-glutamate, achieving high growth rates and carbon yields.

This study engineers Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 to produce naringenin by modifying its metabolism and introducing plant-derived enzymes, achieving 66 mg/L in fed-batch cultures.

This study demonstrates a synergistic microbial system using anaerobic and aerobic bacteria to efficiently convert lignin-related compounds into valuable chemicals with minimal carbon loss.

This study evaluates the microbial production of wax esters and alkanes from lignin-derived molecules using Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1, finding coumarate as the most effective substrate.

This paper engineers a dynamic genetic circuit in Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 to redirect carbon flow from biomass to wax ester production, improving yield and titer by over 3-fold.
