General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the overexpression of CaiB (CoA-transferase) and CaiC (CoA-ligase) leads to an increase in L-carnitine production. Under optimal concentrations of inducer and fumarate (used as electron acceptors), yields reach 10- and 50fold, respectively, that obtained for the wild type strain. Low levels of coenzyme A limits the activity of these two enzymes Escherichia coli
