Summary

Biofuel and biochemical production has received much attention recently as an environment friendly energy source. However, for it to be a viable form of energy, its performance must be enhanced significantly from the existing levels. To design microbial cells, one must understand the metabolism and metabolic regulation mechanisms of the cell sys
