Ins and outs for designing bacterial metabolisms for C1-assimilation, from a multilevel perspective, now pieced together in this review from our @LabNikel! Check it out at
academic.oup.com
In this review, we summarize the challenges in establishing synthetic pathways for assimilation of C1 feedstocks in microbes and how to solve these issues
