Generation of Escherichia coli Enhanced Acetate Utilization through Compensatory ATP Consumption via Adaptive Laboratory Evolution
We carried out adaptive laboratory evolution of an E. coli strain lacking four genes (adhE, pta, ldhA, frdA) involved in acetyl-CoA consumption, allowing the efficient utilization of acetate as its sole carbon and energy source. The transcriptomes according to the medium status (M9 aceate, M9 glucose) of the evolved strain (SBA01) and its parent strain (DSM01) were compared using RNA-seq. Overall design: mRNA sequencing of E.coli strain SBA01 growing under the M9 glucose and M9 acetate and DSM01 growing under the M9 glucose, triplicated.
