Recently in Cell, researchers in James Liao’s group were able for the first time to engineer E. coli so that it can robustly grow on methanol, which potentially enables the industrial bioproduction of higher value chemicals while using methanol as a substrate.

工程化大肠杆菌以利用甲醇生长

最近在Cell中，James Liao研究小组的研究人员首次能够对大肠杆菌进行改造，使其能够在甲醇上强劲生长，这有可能在使用甲醇作为底物的情况下实现工业化生产更高价值的化学品。
