Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale 13C-flux analysis reveals mechanistic principles of metabolic network robustness to null mutations in yeast.

TL;DR: The apparent dispensability of knockout mutants with metabolic function is explained by gene inactivity under a particular condition in about half of the cases, and the relative importance of 'genetic buffering' through alternative pathways and network redundancy through duplicate genes for genetic robustness of the network is quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial hyaluronic acid production

TL;DR: Metabolic engineering is providing new opportunities and HA produced in a heterologous host is about to enter the market, but greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying chain termination is required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic functions of duplicate genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: Back-up, regulatory, and gene dosage functions for the 105 duplicate gene families of Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism are classified in a systems biology approach and there is no evidence for a particular dominant function that maintains duplicate genes in the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

MEMOTE for standardized genome-scale metabolic model testing

Christian Lieven, +84 more
- 01 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: A community effort to develop a test suite named MEMOTE (for metabolic model tests) to assess GEM quality, and advocate adoption of the latest version of the Systems Biology Markup Language level 3 flux balance constraints (SBML3FBC) package as the primary description and exchange format.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic-flux and network analysis in fourteen hemiascomycetous yeasts

TL;DR: The glucose metabolism in fourteen hemiascomycetous yeasts from the Genolevures project was elucidated and it was found that compartmentation of amino acid biosynthesis in most species was identical to that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
